109 | Nine Non-Negotiables After Nine Years in Business
Tue Feb 03 2026
Nine years in business is wild — and this week I’m celebrating my “business birthday” by sharing nine non-negotiables I’ve learned across nearly a decade of running my own business. Entrepreneurship truly is the craziest personal development journey there is lol.
Some of these are tactical (things I actually do).
Some are mindset (things I had to learn the hard way).
None of them came naturally, and I’ve slipped on all nine at different points, but they’ve shaped how I think, how I work, and are true non-negotiables for how I run my business today.
🎙️ In This Episode:
The unexpected mindset shift that changed how I run my businessWhat I stopped obsessing over (and what happened when I did)A repurposing habit that quietly compounded over nine yearsA polarizing philosophy on getting paid (and why I stand by it)The leadership skill that took me the longest to learnWhy I assume my clients are smarter than I amThe “hard” I choose on purposeA belief that keeps me sane around friends + family
