Summary
Are you constantly running on the edge of burnout, feeling like you have to reinvent your business every single quarter just to keep making sales? Do you secretly wonder why business feels so frantic, or why you're still working 20 hours a day just to keep your momentum? My friends, you might be stuck in the most dangerous phase of entrepreneurship: First Gear!
Today, I share the crucial mindset shifts and systems that allowed my team and me to execute our biggest event ever while working only four to six hours a day and experiencing zero drama. I walk you through why the identity of an entrepreneur is actually Kryptonite to your long-term freedom, and I reveal the six things you must immediately adopt to become a smart, efficient business owner.
This is the essential strategy guide for moving your business from chaos to a well-oiled machine. If it's true freedom and efficiency that you're after, then this is the episode for you!

| 0:49.3 | for tuning into another episode of the Mind Your Business podcast. So good to be here. So good to have you listening. |
| 0:56.3 | Thank you so much. I am like hours away of getting in the van and driving down to Phoenix |
| 1:03.3 | for our big event, BBD Live, which is happening in like, whew, T minus less than 48 hours, like 36 hours, something like that. |
| 1:13.7 | Holy guacamole. |
| 1:15.1 | Like when you're listening to this episode, we will be in the room rocking things. |
| 1:21.6 | This is our most registered event. |
| 1:25.4 | So it'll be our biggest attended event in the history. This is |

And we like talked last night at like 930 at night. She had a question about something. And then I just like, |
| 2:36.3 | we just pause and I was like, so we're good, yeah? And she's like, we're good. I'm like, |
