Episode Synopsis

Ready for a candid debrief from the trenches? Jenn opens up about five mistakes that cost time, money, and peace of mind - and the practical tools she’s now using to steer with more clarity and less chaos. If you’ve ever said yes to shiny opportunities, hopped from strategy to strategy after a few weeks, waited too long to hire, tried to outwork burnout, or moved the goalpost so fast you forgot to celebrate, this conversation will feel like a mirror and a map.We dig into a simple three-question filter to evaluate opportunities - aligned with where you’re going, resentment check, ego vs mission - so you can protect focus and say no without guilt. From there, we unpack why strategies don’t fail in three weeks; they fail when we abandon them in three weeks. You’ll hear how sticking with a single platform and process creates compounding results, what inputs to measure when the outputs lag, and how to resist trial churn and comparison traps that drain momentum.The episode also tackles delegation and rest with hard-won honesty. Hiring before you’re desperate safeguards decision quality and opens room for deeper client work, better content, and scalable systems. Rest becomes a non-negotiable because creativity, patience, and judgment all depend on it. Finally, we talk about celebration as a strategic practice. Marking small wins teaches your brain that progress counts, keeps motivation steady, and turns growth into a repeatable habit rather than a sprint to nowhere.If these themes resonate, share the episode with a friend who needs to hear they’re not alone in the messy middle.
