Are you struggling to find time to build your business? You’re not alone.
Let’s be honest, finding time to grow your business can feel impossible some days. Between client work, admin tasks, and the constant pull of “just one more thing,” it’s easy to feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth: we all have the same 24 hours.
When I was growing my business, I realised that my problem wasn’t time, it was how I was using it. In this post (and video you can watch below), I’m sharing what actually helped me get a handle on my schedule.
No “5 a.m. miracle routines.” No hustle-culture guilt trips. Just real, practical shifts that made a difference.
Here’s what I cover:
- Why “I don’t have time” isn’t the real problem. It’s not about hours, it’s about priorities, clarity, and energy.
- The two books that completely changed how I think about time and focus:
– Time Mastery by John McLachlan & Karen Meager,
– Essentialism by Greg McKeown. - The power of tracking your time (and why it’s often uncomfortable). Seeing where your hours actually go is eye-opening and freeing.
- How understanding your non-negotiables reduces stress and guilt.
Defining what truly matters helps you say no with confidence, and say yes to what moves your business forward.
If you’re a business owner or founder who constantly feels behind, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, this is a great place to start.
And if time still feels like your biggest enemy after this, don’t white-knuckle it. Get help, find support, and remember: you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
