178: Why Hustle Fills Your Calendar, Not Your Bank Account
Feb 09, 2026
You feel busy all the time, but your bank account doesn't reflect your packed calendar.
In this episode, Steph breaks down the "busy but broke" syndrome that's keeping you from scaling. She reveals why hustle culture fills your schedule but not your revenue goals, and introduces the concept of predictable planning that lets you work smarter, not harder.
Steph shares her own time-tracking wake-up call, how she discovered she was only working 15 hours when she thought she was maxed out at 25, and the simple exercise that will show you where your time is really going.
Perfect for overwhelmed entrepreneurs who wonder how they'll ever scale without doubling their effort.
You'll learn how to shift from random daily activities to money-making priorities, why a predictable plan saves you when life throws curveballs, and the time audit that will change everything.
