94: From Hustle to Harmony: How Holly Haynes Built a 7-Figure Business on Her Terms
This one’s for the founder who’s done all the “right” things—built the business, hit the revenue goals—but still feels stuck doing too much, too often, with too little joy.
Holly Haynes, host of Crush the Rush, joins me for a conversation about what it really takes to grow a life-first business that lasts. A former corporate strategist, Holly started her business with zero intentions to scale—and ended up retiring her husband, building a dream team, and traveling quarterly with her twins, all while working part-time hours.
We talk about:
- The moment she realized her side hustle wasn’t just "extra cash" anymore
- How she and her husband whiteboarded their way out of corporate
- What she looks for when it's time to pause and rebuild the business
- Creating family-aligned boundaries that support your growth
- Why more work doesn’t mean more success—and what to do instead
If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to stop operating like an employee in your own business and start leading like a CEO, this episode is it.
