A boss fame is unapologised, ambitious and paves the way for herself and other women to rise, keep going and fighting on.

She is on a mission to be her best self in all areas, it's just believing in yourself.

Confidently stepping outside her comfort zone to create her own vision of success.

Welcome to the boss fame podcast of plays where we share with you the real behind the scenes of building successful businesses, achieving peak performance and learning how to balance it all.

I'm your host Natalie Ellis and in this episode I want to talk to you about freedom, specifically freedom of your calendar.

Not being tied to your calendar day in, day out, you know, constantly in meetings, constantly just being pulled in a million directions and ultimately leading to burnout.

It's really important that we talk about this.

So I've shared with you very transparently about coming back to work after my maternity leave and realizing I don't want to run the business the way I've been running the business.

I want to make a lot of changes and a big change that I wanted to make was elevating my role so that I could be in a more creative role.

And so I learned that I'm not so needed for the day to day because over the past few years I've put a lot of processes into place.

I've put a lot of playbooks into place that a lot of the things I was doing was very easy to take them off my plate and have other people continue those things on.

But there's one key mistake that I have made over the past few years and I'm really realizing that as of late.

So I was reading a book called Buy Back Your Time, which was a really, really great book and it pointed this out for me and realizing it has changed absolutely everything.

And I wish someone would have told me this in the beginning of my journey.

So I'm going to share it with you now because if you are the kind of entrepreneur that is looking for more freedom in your life and not to be tied to your calendar and not be the bottleneck for absolutely everything, not be approving, creating, doing all the things.

It's going to change the game for you.

So when I first started my business, I didn't have a lot of experience in being in a business.

I never had a lot of bosses in my life. I'm very much being an entrepreneur.

And so a lot of what I've learned has been learning on the go, learning through podcast books, cultures, mentors.

And it was my belief that when hiring, I would hire based on rules.

So I would hire a marketing person to handle marketing and operations person at handle operations.

I would hire maybe a chief of staff to manage team or, you know, support me in my role.
