02 Apr The 3 systems I use to work only 20 hours a week
As a chronic overachiever and a twin mum, I’ve had to learn the hard way that “hustle” isn’t a sustainable business model. I don’t have the same flexibility I used to, which meant I had to stop being the “system” myself and start letting my tech do the heavy lifting. I’ve scaled back, cut out the fluff, and focused on high-leverage work so I can support my family without burning out.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the three specific systems that allow me to run my business in just 20 hours a week. From consolidating my entire tech stack into a “Forever Home” to using AI as my digital twin, we’re talking about how to be efficient rather than just busy. If your “reactive” to-do list is longer than your “proactive” one, it’s time to listen in and start building a business that doesn’t cost you your entire life.
What I cover in this episode:
- The “Forever Home” Concept: Why consolidating your landing pages, funnels, and calendars into HighLevel is the ultimate life-changer.
- Your Digital Twin: How to move past “AI slop” and train custom bots to handle your brand voice and client work.
- Cutting the Dead Wood: Why I let go of my VA and monthly events to regain my time and protect my energy.
- The MRR Engine: Moving away from trading hours for dollars and building monthly recurring revenue that doesn’t require you to be “on” 24/7.
- Solving $10,000 Problems: Why you should charge for your decade of expertise, not the 15 minutes it takes to click a button.
- The Empowered Leader Audit: Two questions to ask yourself today to see if you are actually running your business or if it’s running you.
