How building systems & structure in every thing I do created me SO much freedom in my business & life.

Someone recently said they were on the edge of investing in my course because the thought of systems & structure felt like it would take away their freedom.
My reply was ‘Is there anything about my life that looks like I am without freedom?’.
She laughed & bought the course.
I want to de-influence you about the infrastructure your business needs, because I know you are shying away from it because it sounds corporate, stale & restrictive.
The trust is, the other side of you investing in your business foundations is the freedom, space & clarity you are desperate for.
Not to mention the legs to actually scale your business without it having you in a choke hold.
I am a systems, routine, consistency, process & planning QUEEN.
Not because I am naturally good or wildly in love with these things - BUT because I know it is exactly what I need to ensure I don’t leave my business growth or enjoyment of life to chance.
So I have learned to love them for the results they bring me.
‘If I did not find a way to compartmentalise all the areas of my life it would absolutely consume me.’
I, like many of my audience, am a mother, a wife, a home owner, a wife AND a woman with her own interests, hobbies & identity outside of it all. (if you follow me on IG you know i want to spend all my free time running)
I have a lot going on. All.The.Time.
If I did not find a way to compartmentalise all the areas of my life it would absolutely consume me. I have been there before & It isn’t pretty.
I see this ALL the time with women building business around their families with their mission being freedom - the irony.
The online business world has done women a disservice, in my opinion, when it comes to understanding the actual framework for freedom.
It isn’t just passive products & income.
It isn’t just ‘better’ marketing.
It isn’t just a clear sales strategy.
Yes ALL of these things are key parts of the entrepreneurial puzzle.
But they will not give you the time & mental freedom you are after if HOW you leverage them is coming from a place of chaos & carnage.
Having ZERO strategy when it comes to the systems, structure & routine of how you make it all happen WITHOUT it always being you is a recipe for burnout & staying small.
I have worked with many multi 6 figure business owners that created themselves an operational cage in their business because they neglected the ‘boring’ part of getting everything out of their head & into a functioning way of working AKA a system.
It’s only once they realise most of their business lives in their heads, nothing really happens without them & they physically cannot shut off their brains they see that money is great, but it isn’t worth their sanity.
This is where I come in
‘I know the missing part of the puzzle for most women is the business infrastructure.’.
-> How you do what you do without you having to remember or push go on it all the time.
Which is 100% KEY especially if you are sleep deprived with small humans & your brain only ever functions at about 65% on a good day!
This is EXACTLY why I developed my business & way of working.
To show women how to build better businesses that live outside of their heads & in a functional system so they could actually enjoy the process of business growth & life at the same time. Regardless of how much sleep they may or may not have had.
I call it my Success System.
But it’s basically a bespoke way of using a project management tool to reflect all of the noise going on in a woman's head when it comes to ‘doing it all’.
I us ASANA & will happily die on a hill for this project management system.
By creating structure & routine for all areas of my life I can feel in control, without being controlling.
I know what needs to happen WITHOUT spending hours planning it.
‘I have created a business rhythm that reflects my reality around kid logistics, business ‘must do’s’ & time for myself - so everything just happens.’.
I can step in & out of business knowing exactly where I left off & what is a priority - which is absolutely key with when your kids are constantly getting sick & sent home from school.
But it isn’t just about being systemised & structured.
It is about having absolute clarity over what I want for myself & how I am going to get there.
Being SO intentional with my time, energy & focus in the pockets of time I have around my boys.
Not letting busy, reactive & chaotic behaviour govern my day or results because we have been taught to accept the ‘juggle’ & madness of motherhood & life.
Letting go of the responsibility of being the one to make it all happen - because the system is set up to think & remember for me.
My entire business, home & life is there.
And yours should be too.
Because now I have so much choice.
Where I spend my time.
Where I spend my energy.
Where I spend my focus.
I get to choose, instead of feeling like my business dictates everything.
