#2: Part 1: What I’d Do If I Had to Rebuild My Businesses From Scratch
In this episode, I’m diving into something I don’t think we talk about enough—the emotional and energetic side of rebuilding or resetting your business. Not the funnels, not the marketing plans (that’s coming in part 2)—but what I would actually do internally if I had to start from scratch.
Over the past 9 years, I’ve built three companies—and with that came the beautiful highs and the gritty lows. In this episode, I’m sharing the real stuff: the emotional lessons, the burnout, the boundaries, and how I’ve learned (and am still learning) to lead from a more regulated and grounded place.
This isn’t about burning it all down. It’s about realigning, making small internal shifts that make a massive difference. I’m sharing 6 key things I’d do differently (and still work on), including the self-care I used to ignore, how I finally started setting actual boundaries, why I’m leaning into fun, and a preview of the 80/20 leadership framework I’ll break down in part 2.
Here’s what we cover:
🧠 The truth about emotional regulation in entrepreneurship
🛑 Why boundaries with YOURSELF might be harder than with clients
🛠 How I stop taking responsibility for things that aren’t mine
🧘♀️ The role of self-compassion and nervous system support
✨ Why having fun again in your biz really matters
🚀 And the game-changing 80/20 rule I now live by (preview of part 2)
If you’ve ever hit a wall and felt like starting over was the only option—this is your sign to pause and reframe. I’m sharing my own stories of burnout, off-grid resets with my trailer + dog, and what it really means to choose alignment over urgency.
Catch Part 2 next episodek where I’ll give you the actual structure, systems, and action steps to back this up strategically.
Let’s rebuild the right way—without the chaos. 💛

002 Part 1 - What I'd Do.. raw video
===
[00:00:00] What if you can hit reset on your business? But without actually burning the whole thing down. In today's episode, I'm gonna be diving into what I'd really do if I had to rebuild my companies from scratch, not the marketing plans or the funnels. We'll really be deep diving into that into the next episode.
So part two of this episode, this is more about the emotional and energetic side of things, and the part that really a lot of people don't talk about, because let's be real, sometimes what you need isn't a new strategy. We all can like Google all the things. We can find all the information. There's coaches everywhere that could teach you everything.
But it's really just identifying how to better serve yourself so that you can actually grow and expand in the business. So up until this point, I've built over three different companies over a nine year period. And while this has been such an incredible journey, there has been a lot of ups and downs. It has not been smooth.
It has also been some incredibly high moments of just beautiful things that have happened. But at the same time, there were parts of the business that. If I could go back in time, I would've changed. Thankfully, with starting each new company, I kind of [00:01:00] took along the things that really kind of failed me in the past or just didn't go very well.
I wouldn't call them necessarily full failures. They were things that obviously taught me a lesson, but that was really big for me and I really just wanted to share. What really happens when you're building the business and you're really reevaluating what you're doing. Before we go any further, what I'm not recommending is to burn the business to the ground and start all over and create the business from scratch.
Again, that is not what I'm suggesting here. What I'm actually suggesting for you guys is that there are a couple small tweaks within ourselves and also within our strategy that can actually take the business to the next level. It's just a matter of reflection. Reflection on the strategy, reflection on us as an individual.
Why are we stalled? Is this really what I want? So on and so forth. And so I don't wanna encourage anybody to really burn this thing to the ground because there is just this common misconception. It's honestly mostly us that think deep down, that really we just have to start all over when that's not really truly the case.
However. I know that most of you women that are listening to this podcast [00:02:00] right now are multi-passionate, which means even more likely going to start multiple business through your entrepreneurship journey, which I absolutely love. Maybe you currently already have multiple businesses, so you know what it's like when you got the chance to rebuild that business.
So I really wanted to talk in two different parts today. I didn't want the episode to be all in one. I felt like it was gonna be too much information. So part one, like I said, today's episode is going to be all about the emotional, energetic side. The things I wish. That I did better at the very beginning.
The things that I have implemented over time, the things I actually still wish I worked better on, because let's be real, I'm not perfect and nor do I ever think I will be. And I always wanna make sure to stretch myself and learn more, and expand more as a human. And then next episode. So the next one, following this one is gonna be part two.
This is where I'm gonna give you guys the nitty gritty in this strategy. So don't skip this episode because I kind of build on each other and I'm gonna be sharing six different action steps that you guys can be taking in order to look through the emotional and the backend, the mindset side of things, plus the things that you could be doing for [00:03:00] self-care.
And I'm gonna be sharing one of my. Favorite tactics. So it's gonna be part one. I'm gonna be sharing my 80 20 rule, which I'll talk about here in just a second, in one of my actual frameworks and my steps. And then in the next episode, you'll really get the breakdown of how we actually roll that out. What does that actually look like?
What's the structure? So stick around and let's go ahead and dive in. So I wanna talk a lot about the things that might be coming up for you as you're thinking about. What attracted you to even listen to this episode because typically the title will bring you in or will draw you in if you don't think something's relevant.
You wouldn't be listening to this, right? Like you wouldn't waste your time. You would be moving on to something that would be more relevant to you. That means that this is a feeling that's coming up for you, and I see you and I hear you, and I have been there more often times, and I like to admit of how many times I've wanted to burn the business down and I get it.
There are many, many moments like that for me, but I will say that. It doesn't have to be that dramatic, but in that moment, when those things come up for you, just take a step back, take a breather, and [00:04:00] let's just get our head back on. Maybe we're just not taking care of ourselves. Maybe we're not pouring into the things that we actually need as the leader, we are some of the most important components of our business, and yes, the team is important.
Yes, the strategy is important. Yes, like all these other components are so useful, but if you're not taking care of yourself. How can you pour into your team? How can you lead? How can you expand into new locations? How can you continue to build new businesses or invest in, properties and do all these different things that you wanna do?
If you just give more and more and more, but you're not giving back to yourself, you're only gonna be in a position where you're just gonna drown yourself in more work and more chaos. So no wonder why it feels like you just kind of wanna burn it to the ground. So let's go ahead and dive into some of my action steps for today about how I've been able to.
Really learn from the lessons of nine years of entrepreneurship. Now, three different companies. So the first one is I'd give myself more emotional support first. This is huge and something I constantly have to remind myself to do. This means [00:05:00] things like. Getting massages, coaching, journaling, nervous system regulation, whatever it takes to actually ground myself without this emotional regulation.
I feel like I made so many decisions from fear, urgency, you know, and not really from compassion or the places or empowerment, the ways that I actually really wanted to make a decision. Because I was just constantly trying to get the next thing done and wanting to constantly burn out or needing to actually burn out.
I went through a phase in my journey where I think it was like three years ago, I took like a whole year off. I didn't take the whole thing off, so I don't want you to think that I like literally didn't work for a whole year, but. Pretty damn well like stepped away from the company.
Like my team was running the show. Thankfully I do have employees within all the companies and I'm very grateful for them. But I just really needed a me. I actually ended up going and visiting one of my best friends out in Arizona, and while I was visiting her, I had this wild idea to buy a travel trailer, like an RV and just go take off with my dog across the states.
And that's exactly what I did. I literally, on a whim, [00:06:00] bought my travel trailer in Arizona and it was just me and my dog. It's actually a toy hauler as well, which means I can bring on motorcycles. Dirt bikes, all that fun stuff. Plus the back of my trailer actually drops back into a patio, for my dog.
So like, it's my favorite part of this travel trailer. So if you ever wanna like, follow along on those journeys, just come follow me at magnetic profits and I share all the time when I'm on these journeys. So the reason I'm sharing this story with you is because during that time that's exactly what I needed and I took a step back and was like, you know what team?
I'm gonna go get starlink, which is like the internet for those who travel like in more remote areas. I got starlink, took off with my travel trailer guys for three months. I went from Arizona to we went Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and then I wrapped up to Idaho. Idaho to Oregon, Oregon, down to California. I'm originally from California.
That's actually where I live in Lake Arrowhead, California, SoCal. And so I just wrapped around and I did it by myself, with just me and my dog, and it was. The best experience in everything that I needed, but the reason why I needed to do that for myself was because [00:07:00] for two, three years straight, all I did was go, go, go, get shit done.
Let's fuck shit up. Let's make it all happen like in a good way. And while the company was successful, while that helped me get to my first million, while that helped me move to the next journey and for myself. It did not serve me in the long run, and so I go through these moments where I have to like take off for several months and it's most likely because of burnout.
So I'm sharing that with you guys because there will be cues along the way, but those times that you've got those little nudges while you're working that say You should probably rest or you should probably drink water, or you should probably go for a walk. Usually you should listen to those. So I would give myself, if I had to start this all over again, which is something I'm still working on, is emotional support for myself, and that can look like different ways for you.
I would just sit down and be intentional about what do you need in order to self-regulate to be able to support you in long-term growth. The second thing that I would do is I'd set stronger boundaries. This is something that I'm actually pretty damn good at. Boundaries. I wasn't always like this.
I will say that for sure. This is something that. I think if anything, the most [00:08:00] boundaries I currently actively am struggling through is personal boundaries. And it's not even with friends or family. It's like within myself, like the things that I say like, oh no, that's fine. Oh, that's good. Have that cookie do this.
Like those boundaries are the ones I'm not respecting right now. And that's been like a whole nother thing I'm working towards. But my biggest suggestion is that you look through the boundaries that you have in place with yourself, with your clients, with your team, and with your friends and family. My recommendation, and this is a big one for me 'cause I will always struggle with this.
I came from a family, my dad specifically is such a hard worker and someone who literally like. Work was always what happened. So I always had proof and examples in my life that told me that like hard work and more hours equals more pay and more like. More winning, I guess is the right word to use, and that actually isn't true.
I actually found the more I rested, the more money we made. The more I rested, the more my team performed, the more I rested, the better I was served. And so I had to start setting better boundaries [00:09:00] myself about not overworking. So one of my newest things that I highly recommend that you do something like this for yourself is to take a step back and say, I am currently, I call it beast mode.
I like literally currently am in beast mode. When I'm in beast mode means for like. This month to this month, I'm in straight up beast mode. No one's stopping me, no one's knocking me down. But when it hits this month, I am going fully just in maintenance mode. And so that's something that I've kind of, compromised within myself, and that's something that has really helped me.
So as of right now, currently in 2025, I. Beast mode actually started for me in January. It actually doesn't end until June, which is a really long beast mode for me. But I've actually been really good about self-regulating along the ways. And when I find myself feeling a little bit burnt out, I take a step back.
I do what I need to, to self-regulate, then I come back and just get back into beast mode. And so as of June, the plan is to actually take off. I'm gonna go on a three month trip to, I'm gonna start off in Oregon. I'm gonna go up to Washington. I'm gonna wrap around 'cause I am huge. Off roader, like I love off-roading.
It's some I love over landing. If you don't know what that is, that just means that you camp out in the middle of nowhere. You go [00:10:00] off road, you go hang out with a bunch of people and I'm obsessed, and then I usually bring my trailer with me. So I'm gonna do a couple of those trips. And so that is like my compromise.
That's my way of stepping back and saying, I am going to do this for myself and I'm gonna set the boundary to say, as of June, we are gonna slow the hell down. For three months and then kick it back into gear. Because our book releases from my other company, workflow Queen. We have a book coming out, which is my very first book, so by the end of this year I'll be an author as well, which is insane, and I'm just so excited for it.
But at the same time, I had to set that boundary within myself with clients. I'm pretty good at this with my clients, to be honest. Clients, students, anybody in both companies. I'm pretty good about saying like, these are my expectations. If you can't meet them, and this is the scope, we don't negotiate. Here we are, and this is our form of communication.
We don't sway, we don't go into other people's software. We don't switch our whole entire system for someone else. And I know that some people do, and that's okay. Like you just have to define what that means for you. For me, I just don't like swaying our team with what our clients like Wanna put us in, if you wanna put us in all these different [00:11:00] areas within your system.
Unfortunately, like our team is trained in like the way that we do things, and so I'm huge on my boundaries. Another place that you can set some really clear boundaries is within your team, and so this looks like the way that. You can't expect your team, you can't be mad at them for like texting you at 2:00 AM if you're texting them at 2:00 AM like, or at least if you are gonna text each other at 2:00 AM Just making sure to set those boundaries that don't worry, I don't check my phone at 2:00 AM It's usually always on silent.
You don't have to worry about it. So I always recommend just like setting those clear boundaries with your team. The last one, and probably the hardest. Is friends and family. And the reason I say that is because I feel like friends and family are the ones that, while we love them so much, they're doing it very innocently.
They're not doing it maliciously or, I hope that's not the case for you. For me, they don't. It's just sometimes I've allowed people to do certain things. I've allowed people to like. To step in and say like, Hey, can you do this? Instead of me just saying, Hey, look, I'm actually over capacity right now.
Can you actually help me with that thing? And so this is so huge on protecting your energy. [00:12:00] I have this thing with a lot of my friends, like I have like five really close best friends and sometimes I'll just text 'em and be like, I don't have the energy to chat. And they're like, okay. See you soon. Like there is no offensiveness.
So like making sure that you find the right people in your life as well. So the next thing that I would do if I had to start the business all over again from the emotional and regulation standpoint is I'd stop taking on responsibility that isn't mine, guys. I still have not figured this one out.
I work with the lady, she's an energy healer and her name's Karen. She was introduced to me by a friend of mine. I've been working with her since July of last year. And. She's just life changing. I'm obsessed with her. I love her so much. And this is something that's really huge for me. This is something that I'm constantly needing to work on, is not taking on the responsibility of other people.
And that could mean things like. I'll give you a great example. I'm currently doing a co-sponsorship with one of my friends in the industry. She's actually one of my best friends as well. We are taking her company, which is called Ambitious Bookkeeper, and my company Workflow Queen. So my other company, we're actually going and sponsoring this event in Seattle in May.
And [00:13:00] typically I'm the type of person who's like, don't worry, I'll call the vendors. I will find the money machine and I'll find the pit. 'cause we're gonna do like this fun like experience and I'll handle all that and I'll put the notion page together because like I just love helping and I love doing that kind of stuff.
At the same time, I don't really want to and. We were at dinner and Zion recently when I did a 30 client, retreat. She was sitting right next to me and she's like, Alyssa, let me handle it. And I was like, yeah, but you got kids and you got this. Like, there's a responsibility. Here we go, Alyssa, it's coming up again.
And I sat back and I said, okay, Serena, her name's Serena. I was like, fine, take it. And she called the other day and was like, Alyssa, I'm so proud of you. I was like, why? What's up? And she goes, I'm so proud of you because you literally have allowed me to actually do this thing, and you're not trying to take responsibility for it.
And I just want you to know that I just heavily appreciate the fact that you're just allowing me to do this. Guys, you're doing a disservice to your friends and family when you don't allow your friends and family and other people to do things for you. This is something one of my really good friends, Nicole tells me all the time, and so this is huge for me, and this is something that as [00:14:00] restarting businesses and also just being an entrepreneur every day, is trying to remind myself that I'm not responsible for someone's feelings.
I'm not responsible for the way someone reacts. I'm not responsible for our client's results if the clients aren't willing to put in the work. Like that's the reality of it, and you probably have the same for you within your own business as well. So the next one is our fourth one. We've got a couple more left here.
I choose self-compassion over self punishment any day. This is something that I still am actively working on, but I've gotten way better over time. Is. I just hate that I beat myself up sometimes. And that can look like in my personal life too. It could be a day where I've been on this like health and fitness journey.
It could be a day where I like eat pasta and I'm not supposed to or whatever, and it's not part of like, the plan. And then I beat myself up. And it's just not fair to myself. Like rest and deadlines, it's okay if you miss these things. I always joke with my team that like, I'm not a surgeon.
No one's gonna die if we don't get something done, but yet I tell my team this, but yet I beat myself up. Right. [00:15:00] And so for me it's just giving myself more compassion and not punishing myself for things that just sometimes are not within my control. I'd also remind myself that I'm human and I'm not a freaking battery, a power machine that can just consistently go, go, go.
And that's something that I'm a projector. If you guys are into human design, if you love human design, come on Instagram at Magnetic Profits and share with me. I love connecting with fellow people who love human design. I'm a projector and I know 'cause one of my best friends is a human design reader.
Her name's Brooke Swan. She owns a line self and she always tells me like, Alyssa, rest is so needed for you. Like you actually have to recharge your battery while people who are like more generators can actually go, go, go. I have friends who are generators and I actually can literally plug myself into my friends and I could just like feed off their energy.
It's like one of my favorite things about being a projector, but I only knew that stuff because I started to take a step back and reflect on what I needed, and I found that when I was around certain people, my energy level was up. So that's going back to boundaries, that's [00:16:00] going back to all these other things that I need for myself.
The next one is, I'd actually have fun. This is something that for so many years. Parts of the business felt fun, but then there was parts that don't, and that's okay, and that's normal. I'm not saying all parts of your business need to be fun, but I would say that this is where you need to have clear boundaries with yourself to say, well, if that part of the business is not fun, there's two options.
Number one, we just get rid of that thing. Maybe we just don't need that offer. We don't need that thing that no longer aligns with us. Or the second thing is delegate it. Get it off your plate, hand it off to someone else so you can focus on the things that are quote unquote fun for you within your business strategy.
This is so huge for me. Anything that starts to feel like more friction or more frustration or not in alignment, I'm really good at taking a step back and saying, you know what? This is no longer for me. I'll give you a really great example of this guys. I. Recently did a retreat in Zion for my other company.
The company's called Workflow Queen. We have a group coaching program, which is called Breakthrough. So our students pay around 5,000 [00:17:00] for this program and a part of being within Breakthrough. They now have access to retreats. The retreats are not included in their. , program purchase. It's something that they pay additional.
Outside of that, we sold it for 1500. We sold it out in like 24 hours. We brought on 35 people. About 30 of them were our clients. The other five were me, our coaches, my assistant people. We had to fly out that are a part of that program, and. It was such a great time and we are very straightforward that we said we are not doing strategy.
We are not going to facilitate anything. We are truly giving you guys a house and a place for you guys to come together and connect because we've had this program for like three years and people have been begging us to put together an event that they can all meet each other and be around. So. We did that.
That's exactly what we did. And one of the things that kind of came up were that a lot of people expected that we would give them strategy or expected that I was gonna be there for anything that they kind of organized on site together. And it made me realize that one, I needed rest because while I was in Zion, I, a lot of people just came up to me and were like, Hey, I'd love [00:18:00] to have a conversation about this.
Like I know that business naturally will come up in a conversation. I just didn't want to facilitate, like I wanted them to like know what rest is productive. But a lot of the women that attended the retreat were telling me that. You know, they had to justify the retreat to like their husbands or their family, or their friends, or even to themselves, that in order to be productive or make use of this, they had to do something.
They had to talk about strategy. They had to talk about business. And this was something that I realized I was taking on the responsibility of them. So going back to all these things that I'm working on, I was like, man, I should have done it this way. And started second guessing myself. And I'm like, you know what is actually my best friend Brooke, who's one of our coaches.
So we flew her out there as well. So like we took care of her and Serena, we flew them out there 'cause they're coaches and of our program. And she was like, Alyssa, at the end of the day, that is their responsibility. That's how they define. Productivity is through constantly talking about the business and it's not fair to beat yourself up.
And so the reason I'm sharing this story with you guys is like, too, I like really deep down said like I need to set this boundary with myself. And then I [00:19:00] started to feel like it was like more, was always expected of me when like in this program, like if you guys knew who I was, deep down, if this is the first time you've ever heard me.
I am an over giver, over information giver, over supporter, will constantly be updating our programs, resources, services for our clients here at Magnetic, like all these different things and all these different moving components. And while that's incredible, it felt like in that moment, at that retreat, there was never enough.
It's not like I've poured years of things into them through this program. And we were very honest and straightforward that we were not gonna provide strategy. But yet, deep down I felt like. I wasn't enough for them or that I wasn't giving them enough, or that how dare Alyssa actually need rest?
Like during this event that she said she was not gonna facilitate any strategy. And it was something that I had to like take a step back and say, am I having fun right now? And I realized in that moment, coming back from Zion, that. I don't think I was having fun [00:20:00] with like what I'm doing right now. And thankfully I'm pretty removed from my workflow queen company.
So I called up one of the other coaches, in our program that we pay. So we pay two different coaches. We've had three different teachers in total. And so I called up one of the coaches and I said, Hey, I need two months off of not doing any calls. I don't wanna be in the group.
I just feel like. No matter what I do, it's never gonna be enough. And so I need a break, I just need some time for myself. And she was super understanding and super, very grateful for that. And she was like, I got you. I'll take the biweekly. 'cause I do some biweekly coaching calls in that program because I love it.
Like I actually genuinely love it. And the reason I'm sharing this with you guys is because one, if you are one of my workflow queen audiences, or you're one of those people who are at our Zion retreat, just know that I have so much love for you, but rest is productive. . And sometimes it's okay to take a step back and that you don't always have to prove that you are productive in whatever way that looks like for you.
But sometimes remembering that projecting that on someone else is not healthy as well, but it's also my boundary to set within myself. And so for me, it realized that I [00:21:00] wasn't having fun because I felt like more of a take energy for my audience rather than a very like cohesive energy. And here at Magnetic, I don't deal with that.
We don't deal with that at all. The women that we attract here on the podcast, the women we attract as clients, women we attract in our audience are very expansive. Also understand that rest is productive. And so my choice was to say, let's. Take me out of that company more for the next two months so I can recharge my battery because I still wanna pour into that community.
I still wanna pour into our programs and what we do at Workflow Queen, but however. I stopped finding that I was having the fun that I needed, and this is something that might be a really important message for you. My last strategy before we end this off, which is the one that I was telling you about, is hands down the most powerful thing that I've ever implemented in my business and quite new, and that has completely changed the way I lead, how I delegate, how I breathe, just different strategy within the business and the team.
And I cannot wait to share this with you. It is, I trust my team using what I like to call the 80 20 rule. [00:22:00] This is literally like eight months of just implementing this. Guys. I've been in business for nine years. It like smacked me one day when I was having a conversation with someone. I'm like, I understand for like the longest time what the 80 20 rule meant.
'cause you can use that and apply it in so many parts of your life. But for some reason I didn't see it in the way that my mind needed to see it. So. I'm gonna break down on the next episode what the 80 20 rule is as far as the strategy, how it's structured, what we do. But I wanna talk about the emotional side and how this has actually really changed me.
So for years I felt pressure and this need to actually be able to kind of spot the holes in the issues in a process or a thing that I was handing over to my team. Or even like my manager also experienced this as well of like handing off projects and stuff and. I always did this thing where I'd be able to like, okay, so I want us to merge our as accounts into one account.
Let's just say that that's what we're doing. In the past, I would've been like, do this and these are the projects. Here's the list, here's the spreadsheet. You should be doing this. And like I'm already answering questions before they're even asked, so that by the time it gets outsourced to [00:23:00] the team, it's like ready to go in all angles and.
While this was great and served me for eight years of entrepreneurship, it kept me stuck because no matter what I felt like I was doing so much front work without, and instead, I should have been trusting the team a little bit more to say, verbalize maybe on a call or like some sort of meeting and be like, Hey, team member I.
I really want us to merge this Asana account and like you just ask me whatever you need to know to make this happen. Here's your parameters, here's your guard rails, here's the team members you're allowed to use. Here's your budget. Whatever that might look like, do it. And this was something that was so big for me 'cause I always thought I was so good at delegating, but I didn't realize till that moment that I actually wasn't as good as I thought I was.
I will say. The way I delegated in the past got me to where we were with Multimillions and bringing in a bunch of different companies and doing these different things and team and blah, blah, blah. But like, it's not gonna get me to my next level quantum leap, right? And so what we do is 80% of the work they do, so I tell 'em, verbalize whether it's through me or my manager or my operations manager, she's actually [00:24:00] starting to learn how to do the same 80 20 rule for delegation as well.
Is we say, this is what we want done. Now you ask the questions that you need to have success within this, and then from there they go and actually start the project and bring it up to 80%. I'm gonna share this with you guys on the next episode, but just a quick little hint. You need to make sure to define what that 80% is, and then what you do is they come to you and say, Hey, here's 80% of the work, and are we on track?
Does this look good? Am I going in the direction that maybe like you envisioned it to go. Whatever that might look like. And I'll say, yes, no, like that don't, mm, nope, not good. Don't love that. It does not mean that I come into the last 20% and actually finalize the project. It just means they're coming in for like more of a checkpoint to ask questions and I'm really verbalizing.
'cause at that time it might not be what I envisioned. And so now let's take the time to like edit it, fix it. But like I said, I'm not fixing it. And this was really huge for me. Then they go back, take the advice, take the feedback, take whatever they need to implement the last 20% and do a final approval.
Final, like full like. [00:25:00] Is this perfect? And we're talking high level projects. This isn't like little shit. This isn't like download a Loom video and like upload it to Google Drive. I'm not gonna do that. What I'm talking about is like these are bigger projects, bigger needle movers that you might have like one assigned per quarter in that capacity, but it could be used in a lot of different ways.
So I'll talk about in part two, how this strategy actually is implemented with our team. The things that actually come up with us, it really taught me how to delegate without perfection and needing to constantly control the situation. Needing to constantly answer all the questions and do all this pre-work that eventually just got outsourced and then they felt like they didn't have autonomy.
It's just about letting go. So I love ending off a lot of my podcast episodes. You guys will learn this about me. Now that we're coming into our first couple of episodes here on the podcast is I really wanna talk about some of the objections that might come up for you as you're listening and tuning into what I'm talking about.
If any of these resonated with you at any point. Please reach out to me on Instagram at Magnetic Profits. I genuinely love to connect with you [00:26:00] guys and learn about the different things that you guys are experiencing. Also, if there's any points that you want me to expand on, I would love to do a solo episode on what that actually might look like and be able to answer any of your questions.
One thing that you might be saying, 'cause I've said it to myself, is I don't have time for self-care. I get it. The only way you could do self-care is if you actually block it off. I get this guys, I can't tell you how many days I'll like, 'cause I wake up at 4:00 AM I'll get up at four, get started at work, and all of a sudden it's freaking four in the afternoon.
I get it. But you have to make time for self-care. A lot of other things that you might be saying is, I feel really guilty with setting boundaries. Or you might be really good at sending boundaries with your clients and your team, but you can't, for some weird reason, set value that yourself. That's okay.
Give yourself grace. You're not perfect. It's just all a learning experience. How can we take a step back and say, what ways can I reprogram this thought process? In what ways can I. Shift the way that I'm thinking about this. So I hope you love this episode. Don't forget, next episode is the part two of this, which is more on the [00:27:00] strategic standpoint of what I did within my business.
Also, what I would suggest that you do to implement within your business, to actually build it for more scale, in order to actually not have to be burning it to the ground and the little tweaks that we can make along the way. So a quick little recap. We talked about emotional support is foundation.
Boundaries are non-negotiable. Stop carrying what's not yours. AKA, the responsibility of others. Lead with compassion and not pressure. Let fun be a metric people, not just results. And my favorite one, trust your team with the 80 20 rule, which I'll expand on next week. I'm so excited to be deep diving.
If there's anything that resonated with you or you wanna chat through, I'm here and I'm all ears my friend.
