“I was working way more than I should have been—and it was my husband who sat me down and said, ‘This family is going to break if you don’t make a change."

For Donna Dube, a former ICU nurse turned business operations expert, that moment was a wake-up call. In this episode, Donna shares how she transformed her life by setting boundaries, leveraging time management strategies, and focusing on what she calls “CEO-level work.” Her insights can help you escape the busywork trap and build a business that works for you, not the other way around.

We Also Talked About:

  • The wake-up call that helped Donna reclaim her time and set boundaries.
  • How to use a time audit to uncover inefficiencies and regain control of your schedule.
  • Breaking tasks into “maintenance” vs. “growth” categories to maximize ROI.
  • How fractional support roles like a Director of Operations can help entrepreneurs grow.
  • The importance of identifying your hourly rate and delegating low-value tasks.
  • Using tools like AI to simplify workflows and boost productivity.
  • Why Donna loves "Atomic Habits" and "Traction" for transforming your business and life.
