Part 1-Why Working Harder Isn’t Working
Episode 967: Show Notes
I wish I could say I’ve only experienced this kind of burnout once in my business… but it sneaks up on you.
Have you found yourself thinking:
“I’m doing everything right—so why does it still feel so hard?”
“Why am I always one missed email away from everything unraveling?”
“If I stop showing up, does it all just stop?”
Please know you are not alone.
And you’re definitely not the problem.

You’re just stuck in what I call The Cycle of Doom™, a loop ambitious business owners often fall into and unintentionally get stuck.
First, you lose clarity.
Then your boundaries start to blur.
And before you know it, you’re completely maxed out on time, energy, and capacity.
If you stay in that cycle, it becomes a constant source of stress and unpredictable income.
And when left unresolved, it goes deeper, often impacting your health, your relationships, and your ability to think clearly.
But let’s not linger on the hard parts.
Because there is a way out—and that’s exactly what I want to show you.
Today, I’m kicking off a brand-new 4-part podcast series called The Accelerator Series. In this first episode, I’m talking about something I don’t think enough business owners are saying out loud:
Why working harder isn’t working.
It’s not your fault.
Most of us are building our businesses inside systems that were never designed for us to sustain.
We’ve been told to do more, show up more, create more. If we just work harder, success is just on the other side.
But escaping the Cycle of Doom™ isn’t about more effort. It’s about crossing into a new loop entirely. One where you reset your priorities, align your actions with your values, and start running your business on your terms.
This is just the starting point
While this may single-handedly be my favorite podcast series of all time. It’s really just a teeny, tiny first baby step.
Over the next few days, I’ll be walking you through the exact shifts I’ve used to make my business work for me through all different seasons of life.
And if this is resonating with you, then you need to know:
The Co-op is where we take this deeper.
Inside, you’ll get the tools, structure, and support to actually implement what I’m sharing this week. And do it in a way that works for you.

You don’t need to do more to earn more. You need a scalable business model that’s built around your life, not someone else’s formula.
