Ever had a client project blow past its deadline because—surprise!—life happened? Or maybe you’ve found yourself knee-deep in scope creep, wondering how your “simple” service turned into an unpaid overtime gig? This episode with Dr. Catrina Mitchum (https://www.cmlearningdesign.com/) is for every solopreneur and lifestyle entrepreneur who’s ever wrestled with business boundaries while chasing business growth.

Catrina explains why she dropped her done-for-you course builds. Clients recording their own videos meant projects ran late and kept growing past the original goals. She replaced them with done-with-you packages that have clear business boundaries. She shares how she helps clients pick the right one, what still makes her nervous about the model, and how clients can move to the slower package when life gets in the way. She also talks about running her business with a chronic illness, including sorting her tasks by how much brainpower and energy they take so she can choose what she's able to do on any given day.

Key Takeaways

  • Design your offers around client capacity, not just price tags or timelines.

  • Set crystal-clear business boundaries so you can actually log off (even mid-week, even when life “lifes”).

  • Build small business systems so you, your clients, and your sanity all get to stick around for the long haul.

Are you a solopreneur who wants business growth without sacrificing the lifestyle business you actually wanted? Have you ever wondered if growing your business really has to mean building a team, working more hours or chasing someone else's version of success? What if staying small was the strategy, not the stepping stone? If that sounds like you, you're in the right place. Subscribe and follow!
