Build a business around your life, and not a life around your business

“Simple.” That’s my favorite word. Trust me, everything can be simpler. I say it as an introverted overthinker.

I first met the “philosophy of simple” six years ago when I became a minimalist while dealing with the challenges of being a new mom. I realized that to clear my mind, I needed to declutter my home first. As I let go of stuff, I noticed a shift in my values too.

Entrepreneurship and business can be a way to support your lifestyle and your energy.

There was a time when I couldn’t say no to a new client. I had a scarcity mindset that led me to a state where I had more work than time. Why? Because I believed it was what I had to do.

Social media is filled with posts like “How I made 6-figures in 2 weeks” or “You can become a 7-figures entrepreneur in 3 steps”. But usually, this is not the complete picture according to my experience and based on the feedback from my previous clients.

The reality is, that it only led to stress, burnout and unhappiness for me. I couldn’t spend peaceful moments with my son, made mistakes in my job and started valuing myself less and less.
