Still figuring it out
Welcome to Still figuring it out.
A blog that shares real talk about running a business (without the fluff).
It’s about everything that goes on behind-the-scenes of running a business—mindset, boundaries, strategy, processes, and yep… finances too.
Running a business isn’t a straight line. Some days you’re crushing it. Other days, you’re googling “Can I nap under my desk and still be a CEO?”
We’re here to help you through it with tips, tools, and reminders that you’re not alone in any of it.
How treating your business like a workout changes everything
Running a business is like strength training, awkward at first, exhausting in the middle, and worth it when you finally see progress. You won’t notice growth every day, but the consistency builds something real. The trick isn’t doing more, it’s learning to build your business like muscle with structure, recovery, and the kind of discipline that actually fits your life.
Someone out there loves the sh!t you hate doing
Not being good at something doesn’t make you a bad business owner. It makes you human. The stuff you dread, is someone else’s happy place. The faster you admit what you’re not good at, the faster your business stops tripping over the same obstacles on repeat.
Why knowing you aren’t good at something is a superpower
Admitting what you’re not good at isn’t weakness, it’s strategy. The sooner you stop trying to be amazing at everything, the sooner your business gets stronger, smarter and a lot less exhausting. Delegating the right things gives you back the time and energy to focus on what you do best.
Boundaries: The cheapest productivity tool you’re not using
If you think running your business 24/7 is something to brag about, you’re wrong. It’s not hustle, it’s a fast-track to burnout. Boundaries aren’t just about “self-care”, they’re the cheapest productivity tool you’re not using. In this blog, I’m calling out the bad habits that keep business owners chained to their work, showing you exactly what it’s costing you and sharing the boundaries I use every day to protect my time, energy and focus.
There has to be a better way (without throwing everything out every 5 minutes)
You might think your way of doing things is working just fine. And maybe it is. But what if there’s a better, easier way hiding in plain sight? This blog is about staying curious, exploring what’s possible, and making small, sustainable changes that help your business run smoother without throwing everything out every five minutes.
Can I just finish one thing before 10 more land on my plate?
Feeling buried under a mountain of “urgent” tasks? This blog tackles the multitasking myth and shares real-life tips for getting the right things done, without dropping all the plates.
Sale? It’s the best four-letter word … when you know how to use it
Tired of the usual sales pitch that you probably hear (or give) a thousand times a day? Follow-ups and urgent, limited-time offers can sometimes send clients running. While it can work for some industries, a lot of the time it feels desperate. A recent online conversation got me thinking - sometimes, less is more. Let's talk about a novel concept: giving people a choice on where they take their business.
