Five Liberating Permissions to Build Your Business Without the Burnout in 2026

Tired of running your online course business on everyone else's rules? 🚀

I'm handing you five powerful permission slips that will completely transform how you approach your business in 2026. No more forcing yourself into launch strategies that drain you. No more guilt about simplifying systems. No more pretending you have to do it the way the “gurus” say you should.

After working with hundreds of course creators who are earning between $10K-$25K in revenue and helping scale businesses to seven figures, I've learned something critical: the entrepreneurs who build sustainable, profitable businesses aren't the ones who follow every rule. They're the ones who know when to give themselves permission to do things differently.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact permission slips I've given myself and my students use to break free from the exhausting hustle cycle. Whether you're struggling with Facebook ads strategy that doesn't fit your style, launch funnels that feel too complicated, or business systems that leave you overwhelmed, these five permissions will help you build your online courses business in a way that actually brings you joy.

“Complex doesn't always mean advanced. Sometimes complex just means clutter.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

• Understand the four stages of entrepreneurial growth and where you are right now (so you can stop comparing yourself to people in completely different seasons)
• Discover why changing your mind about your signature offer isn't failure—it's wisdom (and how I transformed A-Lister into Scale with Ads by following this principle)
• Learn the simplification strategy that saved me $7,000 annually while making my business easier to run (goodbye ActiveCampaign, hello clarity)
• Master the art of getting the right-sized help for your business without over-hiring or burning out doing everything yourself
• Embrace sustainable pacing that lets you build profitable systems instead of constantly starting from scratch after each launch

Grab your favorite coffee and settle in—this one's going to give you the breathing room you've been craving! ☕️
