My business bestie Sabrina Gebhardt loves talking about outsourcing and automation just as much as I do.  The only thing she loves talking about more is sustainability and avoiding burnout. Okay and planning… I totally forgot to ask her how many planners she owns. It is a lot y’all!

There are so many nuggets from this conversation, but the underlying theme for this entire podcast episode is “you are the boss” so build a business that makes you happy.

Highlights

[01:00] Entrepreneur or Creative-First?

[02:03] What system is moving the needle in your business?

[03:00] What keeps you from being overwhelmed in your business?

[05:45] Trust your intuition

[08:24] How did you overcome being overwhelmed early in business?

[11:11] What to look for in a mentor

[15:17] Advice for new business owners

[23:13] What’s the most important boundary in your business?

[29:14] What was the biggest fuck-up in your business? [SPOILER: she talks about three]

Listen, she will be back on the podcast sooner than later. If you don’t currently follow her, do it now. If you don’t have White Space on your calendar, find time to put some in there (LOL).
