The right foundation.

I’m wrapping up a 10-day adventure split between Hawaii and New Orleans.

I spent that time playing, enjoying life, and checking in sporadically to push projects forward. 

And my business kept thriving. Over those 10 days, we:

• Kicked off our biggest sponsorship of the year

• Received 250+ new newsletter signups

• Welcomed 2 new coaching clients 

• Soft launched an exclusive referral program (HMU if you want details)

• Got a flood of amazing candidates for a key hire

• Delivered a major consulting project to a client

• Kept everything else running smoothly, business as usual

And that’s all because I've built the foundation for growth.

A foundation that lets me breathe and play when I want to.

A foundation made of people (and systems) who step up when I'm out to get things done.

That's real freedom. 

And it’s the type of business I’ve always wanted to run.

The truth is, we can all build our business around freedom and boundaries. We can all build businesses that fit our lives instead of the other way around, whatever you want that life to look like. 

If you’re sitting there reading this and asking yourself “but how?”... let's chat. 

I help freelancers, founders, and creators find that clarity and build thriving businesses that truly work for them. Simply respond to this email or book your first session with me here.

You know what else leads to freedom? The right investment in your financial future. This week’s sponsor Betterment helps you do just that.
