How Making September Your January Can Transform Your Business

The Mind Your Time Podcast | Empowering Entrepreneurs to Streamline, Scale, and Live Their Legacy

What if September could be your personal January?

A time to hit reset, recalibrate your business goals, and align them with what truly matters. In this episode, I share my journey from running a successful virtual assistant business to reaching a breaking point in 2019. Despite the financial success, my lack of systems and boundaries left me overwhelmed and stressed, forcing me to shut it all down and refocus on my values and family.

I’ll walk you through how this experience transformed my business approach and taught me the power of aligning my business goals with my lifestyle. We’ll talk about refreshing your mission and vision, and how setting clear 90-day goals can help you make real progress—without the burnout. I’ll also share insights from big names like Starbucks and Apple to inspire you along the way.

If you’re ready to reset, this episode is packed with strategies for goal setting for entrepreneurs that will help you finish the year strong and build a business that supports your life, not the other way around.

Tune in for practical tips and inspiration to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
