What if I told you the secret to leveling up your business isn't hiring another VA or social media manager--it's getting a house manager first?
Most entrepreneurs think they need to build their business team before anything else. But here's the truth: if you're drowning in laundry, meal prep, and household chaos, you're never going to show up as the CEO your business needs. In this episode, I sit down with Brenda Noon Schmidt, house manager expert and time-hacking queen, to talk about why bringing support into your home is the game-changer most female entrepreneurs are missing.
Here's what we cover:
- What a "hero house manager" actually is (and why it's not as expensive or out-of-reach as you think)
- How to find the right person who feels like family (even in small rural towns)
- Why hiring help in your home frees you up to be a better entrepreneur, partner, and parent
- How to overcome mom guilt and the "I should be able to do it all" mindset
- The anti-hustle approach: buying back time so you can actually live, not just work
- Practical hiring tips, trial periods, and how to lead your household like a business
If you've ever felt like you're constantly choosing between your business and your family, or like you're one load of laundry away from a breakdown...this episode is your permission slip to get help. You weren't meant to do it all. Let's build your village. Ready to reclaim your time and step into your next-level self? This episode will show you how.
