This week, I’m recording from Bali, celebrating my 10-year wedding anniversary. Sitting here by the pool, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to build a business that works for you—not one that traps you.
Are You Running a Business or Just Earning a Wage?
For years, I ran my business transactionally—money came in, bills got paid, and whatever was left over was mine. I see so many business owners doing the same, stuck in a cycle of financial survival with no real control over their future. They’re working hard, but they’re not building wealth.
The problem? They’re stuck in a job, not running a business.
The Shift That Changed Everything
If you want real financial freedom, you need to stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like a shareholder in your own company.
🔹 Employees trade time for money. Their income depends on how much they work.
🔹 Business owners build systems that generate wealth—even when they step away.
The Warning Signs You’re Stuck in Survival Mode
🚨 You feel guilty stepping away from your business. Even on holiday, you can’t switch off.
🚨 Your income stops the moment you stop working. No work = no money.
🚨 You constantly chase sales but never feel ahead. Every month is a new struggle.
If this sounds like you, it’s time for a change.
How to Start Building a Business That Works for You
1️⃣ Get Clear on Your Financials – If you don’t know where your money is going, you’ll never feel in control. Start tracking your income, expenses, and most importantly—profit.
2️⃣ Pay Yourself First – Stop treating profit as an afterthought. Set aside money for yourself before paying expenses.
3️⃣ Automate & Delegate – The more your business relies on you, the harder it is to step away. Create systems, hire help, and stop being the bottleneck.
4️⃣ Think Like a Shareholder – Ask yourself: Would I invest in this business? If the answer is no, what needs to change?
