Discover 5 game-changing strategies to build your 6-figure business during school hours without burnout. Perfect for mum entrepreneurs seeking work-life balance.

Are you exhausted before you even open your laptop? Feeling like you're constantly busy but never actually moving your business forward? You're not alone.

In this episode of The Simplified CEO, I'm sharing my exact 5-step framework for running a successful 6-figure business entirely during school hours - without sacrificing your sanity or your time with your children.

After years of being trapped in the hustle culture hamster wheel, working 60-80 hours a week while trying to be a present mum, I discovered a better way. Now I work just 20 hours a week, three days between school drop-off and pick-up, and I've never been more profitable or peaceful.

What You'll Learn:

• How to uncover the hidden time drains stealing hours from your day (most entrepreneurs have NO idea where 30-40% of their time actually goes)
• The "3 Types of Work" framework that instantly shows you what's making money and what's just making you feel busy
• My exact daily non-negotiables that take 15 minutes but create massive momentum
• How to identify and focus on your "breakthrough work" that generates the highest income in the shortest time
• Why the 1:1 time-for-money model is keeping you trapped and how to break free

Perfect for you if:

• You're a mum running a service-based business (coaching, consulting, VA services)
• You've built a 5-figure business but want to scale to 6 figures
• You're working way more hours than you'd like to admit
• You feel guilty for wanting both business success AND quality time with your family
• You're done with hustle culture but don't know another way
