Starting a business can feel exciting—and overwhelming. That’s why I rely on fresh strategies to keep things simple, especially when life gets full. As a mom of two, my days include hockey and tennis practices, bedtime stories, and running a growing business from home. And yes, sometimes it feels like a juggling act, but it’s all possible with a little intention and heart.
I remember when I first launched my coaching practice. I thought I needed to do everything—build a website, post daily on social media, write a blog, join networking groups… It was a lot! I was burning out fast. So I stopped, took a deep breath, and decided to do things differently.
That’s when I started using fresh strategies that brought calm and clarity. I want to share a few of those with you now, in case you feel like I did—pulled in too many directions.
Start with Simple Routines
Mornings are my magic time. Before the kids are up, I head to the gym, and while on the treadmill, I’m mentally planning my day. I think about my top three priorities—not 10, just 3—which helps me feel focused and in control.
Even if things change (which they always do), I still feel like I started the day on my terms. Those few quiet moments make a big difference, whether updating a client email or prepping social media posts.
Plan for Peace, Not Perfection
One of the most helpful mindset shifts I’ve made is this: done is better than perfect. I used to spend hours tweaking every blog post or worrying over every detail of my offer. Now, I launch it, learn, and tweak it later.
Stress-free success comes when you allow yourself to learn as you go. You don’t need to have all the answers. You need a heart for helping others and a plan that makes sense. That’s where fresh strategies come in—they’re flexible and forgiving.
Batch Your Work for More Flow
Batching is a big win in my week. I group similar tasks together so I’m not constantly switching gears. Mondays are for writing, Tuesdays are for meetings, and Thursdays are for social media. This rhythm helps me stay focused and avoid burnout.
It also means I can be more present with my family. Everyone wins when work time is work time, and family time is just for them.
Use Tools That Work With You, Not Against You
I enjoy easy tools like Slack, Trello, Google Calendar, and Canva. These keep things organized without needing to be a tech genius. Find what fits your flow and keep it simple. The best tools reduce stress, not add to it.
Celebrate Your Wins—Big or Small
I pause and celebrate whenever I get a new client, hit a milestone, or even finish a to-do list. Sometimes it’s with a latte, sometimes with a dance break in the kitchen. Whatever it is, it reminds me of how far I’ve come.
You’re doing big things. Don’t wait for a “someday” moment to feel proud of yourself.
Starting a business and keeping it running can feel like a lot. But with fresh strategies, you can build something you love—without the burnout. Take it one step at a time, give yourself grace, and stay connected to your “why.”
