A New Ambition
A New Ambition is for overwhelmed business owners who want a successful business and a life they actually get to live. If you’re stretched too thin, running on empty, and tired of sacrificing your health, relationships, or peace of mind just to keep things going, you’re not alone.
We’ve all believed the big myth: that once you ‘make it’ the problems fade away. More sales will mean less pressure. Hiring will mean less on your plate. Getting through the quarter, the year, the crisis will mean everything just magically gets easier.
But it doesn’t work that way. As your business grows, the problems don’t disappear—they multiply. From the outside, it looks like success, but on the inside you feel like you’re failing or one step away from disaster. You hide and feel so embarrassed by your financial problems that you never really address them. You feel like a terrible leader because of the constant stress from your employees. And you’re totally worn out from the endless mental load—because you can’t get away from any of it without bringing your laptop, your worries, and your work everywhere you go.
I know what it’s like when your ambition starts to cost you too much. For years, my only goal was to grow my business. Now, my new ambition is to have a successful business and a well-lived life.
Join me. I’m Krista Williamson, seasoned business owner, goal-achievement coach, resilience coach, and certified life coach. Each week, I’ll share stories, strategies, and practical tools to help you reclaim your time, lower your stress, and create space for your new ambition—whatever that looks like for you.

16: The busy trap (working hard without getting the results you want)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can spend the whole day working non-stop; answering every email, jumping from call to call, and checking things off your list and still not feel any closer to accomplishing your goals.
That’s the trap of busy. It looks and feels like progress, but it actually keeps you running in circles, drained, stretched thin, and no further ahead.
In this episode, I’m talking about why busy and effective aren’t the same thing, what it takes to break free from the illusion of productivity, and three mindset shifts that can help you start making meaningful progress on the work that really matters.
If you’ve been working harder than ever but still watching your priorities slip through the cracks, this one’s for you.
