479: When Business Gets Hard, Do This (Don’t Quit)

Share this:

This week, I’m back in the Expansion Era to go deeper into how to slow down without quitting, especially when business (or life) feels heavy.

I’m sharing my own experiences navigating tough seasons in entrepreneurship, what it means to identify and pull your levers, and how I stabilize myself before getting back into action. From sponsorship slowdowns to shifting income streams, I walk you through the real strategies I use to find balance and keep moving forward.

In this episode, I share:

  • Why slowing down is not failure and how to recognize the season you’re in
  • What it means to identify and pull your three key levers for income
  • How I use AI tools to simplify the job search when needed
  • The importance of pausing before making big decisions
  • Why your revenue is flexible, but your identity is not

Highlights Include:

  • 00:00 Intro
  • 02:00 When business slows down and how to stabilize
  • 05:00 Understanding and defining your three levers
  • 08:00 Tabitha Brown’s advice on getting a job as a lever
  • 12:00 How AI can help tailor resumes and applications
  • 15:00 Deciding which lever to pull each week
  • 17:00 Why revenue is flexible but your identity isn’t
  • 20:00 Closing encouragement: You are not alone
