Put your hands up if you started your business to have more time and flexibility in your life… but you’re actually finding now that you have less of it. It’s alright, it’s a really common problem, and one that we’ve definitely suffered from ourselves, too. So, what can you do when it feels like you have 12 different bosses, the housework needs doing and you’ve got to head off to pick the kids up from school in 5 minutes?!

There’s three changes you can make to your working day that will help you to feel not just like you have a bit of space to breathe, but also happier and more content. When it comes down to it, if you wanted to go into work stressed out and unhappy – you’d just go and get a job again, wouldn’t you? We want to help you avoid doing that and actually grow a business that you love.

We’re sharing the three things we’ve implemented in today’s episode of JFDI! And as this is a slightly shorter episode than usual, don’t forget to send us a DM of what you did with your spare 15 minutes!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Why it’s common for freelancers to start their businesses to have more time and actually end up with less of it
  • Three ways you can regain some of your lost time
  • Examples of how we’ve implemented these things!

Before you rush off...

We love watching you succeed more than we love binge watching Love Island, which is a lot #confession.

We’ve been where you are today... we launched (and still run) two successful social media freelance businesses and joined forces to help you do the same.
