As the year comes to a close, this episode looks honestly at what success really means when you run your own business. Spoiler, it is not how many clients you book or how full your calendar looks. It is whether you enjoy how you spend your time.

I share the moment I realised that being busy was not the same as being fulfilled, and how the constant push to be booked and in demand kept me stuck in a cycle that looked successful from the outside but left me exhausted on the inside. I also talk about the turning points, including a powerful personal story that shifted how I viewed time altogether.

From pricing and profit margins to building assets that earn while you rest, this is a reminder that your days matter more than any metric.

Highlights:

(01:34) Why end of year reflections often focus on the wrong measures

(03:22) A conversation at the gym that revealed how trapped many people feel

(05:46) Realising that being fully booked was not the same as being happy

(07:13) The moment a family loss changed how I valued time

(10:12) Practical ways to free up time in your business without losing income

(12:48) How digital products and courses became the key to reclaiming my days
