You started your business for more freedom, but now you’re working longer hours than ever. Let’s fix that.
Lisa Hawkins, founder of Life Balance Essentials, joins Tim Hyde to talk about the underrated (and often ignored) side of running a business: the life admin that quietly drains your time, energy, and focus.
She reveals how small business owners can systemise everyday tasks, delegate the right things, and finally stop feeling guilty about not “doing it all.” From inbox management to creating processes that actually stick, Lisa’s insights are a masterclass in simplicity and structure, without the burnout.
If you’re ready to stop being buried in “stuff” and start running a business that serves your life, not the other way around, this episode will hit home. Lisa’s approach is proof that structure doesn’t kill creativity. It gives you the space to actually enjoy what you’ve built.
