Scaling with Confidence — Navigating the Tug-of-War Between Growth, Systems, and Self-Care

Scaling isn’t just about numbers — it’s about balancing growth, systems, and self-care. For bookkeepers, accountants, and business owners, that often means pricing struggles, letting go of control, and creating boundaries that stick.

In this episode, I share how Dr Carol Dweck’s research on fixed vs growth mindset applies directly to business. A fixed mindset keeps us stuck in fear, while a growth mindset opens the door to confident pricing, effective delegation, and space to lead strategically.

You’ll walk away with practical tools to recognise where mindset may be holding you back — and how to shift it so you can scale with confidence while protecting your energy.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Dr Carol Dweck’s research on Fixed vs Growth Mindset
• Why pricing is more about belief than numbers
