How Ideal Routines and Soft Skills Fuel Long-Term Business Growth
What happens when you list a service you don’t even know how to deliver... and it takes off? In this episode, Chris M. Walker shares how an experiment turned into a career-defining moment that not only got him out of his 9-to-5 but led to launching Legiit, a growing digital services platform helping entrepreneurs and agencies scale. From facing self-doubt to navigating tech mishaps and creating a sustainable daily routine, Chris walks us through the mindset and systems that helped him build a business that continues to grow, month after month.
Chris reveals how a single resold service turned into a booming business, why hitting a breaking point at his job pushed him toward entrepreneurship, and how creating his “ideal day” has become the secret to sustaining his success. Whether you’re side hustling your way out of a 9-to-5 or struggling with discipline as a full-time entrepreneur, this conversation is filled with real talk, inspiration, and actionable wisdom.
Key Takeaways To Listen For:
Start Before You’re “Ready”: Chris’s journey began by listing a service he didn’t even know how to do — not recommended, but proof that taking action can open doors you didn’t expect.
Your Routine is Your Foundation: Creating and repeating an “ideal day” has helped Chris maintain discipline without burnout. It’s not about hustle culture — it’s about sustainability.
Your Job Isn’t the Enemy — But Staying Stuck Might Be: Chris left his job not out of resentment, but because he realized the future he wanted wasn’t possible where he was. Sometimes the pain of staying is greater than the risk of leaving.
