“I don’t have time”.
We get it. Clients, kids, content, team, and that’s only just the beginning. There’s so much to fit into every day.
As a business owner, it can feel like you’re constantly racing the clock and still not seeing the growth you want.
In this episode, Leon and I open up the real conversation we have with clients at every level of business: how to use your time as a strategic asset instead of something you’re always chasing.
We talk about the seasons where I built a multi–million–dollar business in tiny, imperfect pockets of time, and how the same principles apply whether you have three hours a day or thirty.
You’ll see why “no time” is almost never a sign that you’re failing. It’s usually a sign that your business model, boundaries, and support need an upgrade. We share 3 practical shifts you can start making this week to create more capacity, more space, and more growth.
If you’re craving more ease in your calendar and more consistency in your income, this conversation will give you clarity, relief, and a clear next step.
WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:
- 11:36 – What’s really happening when you say “I don’t have time,” and how you may already be paying the price in hidden ways.
- 19:36 – Why “no time” is often your clearest signal that you’re ready for more support, and how to recognise that moment before burnout hits.
- 27:07 – How a full calendar quietly caps your capacity, stalls your growth, and puts an invisible ceiling on your income.
- 28:56 – The Post-It Note test: a simple, 24-hour exercise that shows you exactly what you’re prioritising, and what needs to change.
- 32:48 – The true cost of busywork and how it can quietly replace your next $20K opportunity.
- 35:13 – How to start treating time as your greatest asset, and the practical boundaries that protect it so you can scale sustainably.
