Hey, I’m Shana, I tried to do everything myself for over 20-years. I thought I was being humble and frugal. I wasted hundreds of hours learning skills with low value, and it left me exhausted and cranky with my family when they didn’t appreciate it.
I finally realized that even if I could learn how to do anything, it didn’t mean I should. I created a strategy to eliminate, consolidate, automate or delegate work so I could adopt a minimalist approach to business ownership and refocus my energy on what I value most: God, health, family, and community.
If you are ready to find solutions you can come back to throughout the life your business... systems that take work off your plate without sacrificing profit, this podcast is for you!
Tighten up your toolbelt and pop in your earbuds; it’s time to take the dirty out of your job.

This podcast episode aims to help listeners move beyond basic habit tracking to focus on "habit patterns" that create a more significant impact on their business and life.
The episode then outlines five key "habit patterns": not overlooking anything that takes less than a minute, resetting one's space between activities, doing things right the first time (including digitizing documents and proper filing), using habit stacking and not skipping, and having a daily stand-up and rollup/shutdown routine.
By adopting these higher-level habit patterns, business owners can achieve greater efficiency, focus, and productivity.
