In this episode of UNComplicating Business, we're talking about a question I was asked in a FB group a few months ago and have been thinking about ever since. The question was 'What are three things every business owner needs to succeed?' In this episode I'm going to share my three must-haves as well as one particular don't-need. Based on the conversation around this I saw on FB, my must-haves are a little different from most, so listen in to find out how ours match up OR if I can convince you to adopt one of the must-haves from my list into yours!

I'm a business weirdo. I want to do things 'right' and also I'm completely unwilling to do things that don't feel like me... which means a lot of the 'rigth' ways of the traditional business world don't match up. Maybe you can relate to this feeling :) On this episode, I'm going to share what being a business weirdo has meant for me, the lows and the highs that come with it, and how I've (mostly) worked to come to a place where I embrace the weird and let it HELP me, rather than hold me back. Come for the story but also for the practical ideas on succeeding as a weirdo :)

Today we’re talking about what I think of as an often overlooked topic in the entrepreneurial world: creating a workday that actually fits your life.

Today I’m sharing five questions to help you uncover your unique workday needs while helping you step away from conventional 9-to-5 expectations. We’ll assess what you *really* need from your day, challenge assumptions about work is ‘supposed’ to look like, and design a schedule that serves you rather than constraining you. Whether you thrive in structure or prefer every day to look different, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you take control of your time and create a workday that WORKS for you.
