A lot of the stress of being an entrepreneur starts with that feast or famine cycle – the pattern of your income arriving in spikes, with the interim months feeling more difficult or chaotic.
This can be a really unpredictable way to do business. In this episode of Be the change, I’m joined by Phoebe Mroczek to talk about how we can create a more sustainable sense of success in our businesses.
Be the change is a mini-series here on The Simply Smart Business Show where I get down to it with leaders in the online business world to talk about the problems facing our industry today and (most importantly) how we can create the changes we want to see.

Takeaways from this show:
- There is no such thing as overnight success, but we don’t talk about the many years that go into building an audience etc. That’s not the sexy, fun part.
- Sometimes you can make money really quickly online, and sometimes you can’t. The point is not to get discouraged when it doesn’t happen the way you assumed it would.
- Don’t compare yourself to a story when you don’t really know what’s going on behind the scenes.
- Ask yourself: if you knew you were going to be building this business for the next 10 years, what would you focus on first? What would you focus on second?
- Building for sustainability is a mindset.
- With a launch model, you don’t know how much money people are making. You don’t know what their expenses look like. Real sustainability is about profitability and systems.
- Check in with yourself: what kind of lifestyle do you want? How do you create a business that supports that? Don’t create a business you don’t want to work in.
- Take responsibility for everything you post. How will that story you’re about to share help someone else?
- If you’re confident in your abilities as a coach, you can’t be clipping your clients’ wings.
