126: #126 The Hidden Cost of DIYing Your Business
We solo business owners are a fiercely independent bunch — we figure stuff out, wear all the hats, and keep the wheels turning. But what if trying to do everything yourself is actually slowing you down? In this episode, I’m sharing the hidden costs of DIY-ing your business growth — from wasted time and money to missed opportunities and total overwhelm — and why investing in the right kind of support could be the smartest (and kindest) thing you ever do for yourself. I’ll walk you through how to spot the warning signs that you’re stuck in the DIY trap, the difference between staying “busy” vs. actually growing, and how simple shifts like listening to podcasts or getting expert support can make a massive difference to your profitability, peace of mind, and long-term success. This isn’t about scaling to a 10K month or hustling 24/7 — it’s about building a business that actually works for you. Because you deserve more than just survival mode. 💡 The sooner you stop doing it all alone, the faster you move forward. 🛠️ Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with me Been ironing or cleaning while listening?
