Show Notes

“One of the things that helped me the most was taking a step back and being realistic... Continual learning is important, but you have to be realistic about how much you can actually take on and how much content you can consume.”

—  Peta O'Brien-Day


Where would you end up if you had to rebuild from nothing?


Peta O'Brien-Day is a copywriter and former social worker who had a super challenging path to entrepreneurship after the unspeakably tragic early death of her first husband. 


(This is the second half of my convo with Peta — if you haven’t heard last week’s episode, I highly recommend checking it out first to get the full story!)


When we left off last week, Peta had just launched her new copywriting business while caring for two young kids.


In this episode, we dig into the nitty-gritty of the early days of building her biz, including her time management strategies, how she took advantage of time zone differences to better balance her childcare, and how she sifted through best practices and self-help tips to find what worked for HER. 


Listen now to learn about Peta’s top advice for biz owners — and why you DON’T actually have the same number of hours in a day as Beyoncé!


Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to make time to work on your biz WITHOUT setting an alarm for 4 am (um, no thank you!)
  • Why you need to get over the burning need to do All The Things and join all the groups — and why podcasts can be your best bet for learning 
  • How Peta found her way back from her darkest days — and where you can follow her story
