Are you already feeling the weight of Q4—holidays, kids’ activities, and running your business—all at once? You’re not alone. As small business owners, we’re often told that success only comes from hustling harder, working 24/7, and showing up on every single platform. But here’s the truth: hustle culture is a lie, and it’s costing you your peace, your joy, and sometimes even your profits.
In today’s episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I’m getting real about hustle culture, margin, and why constantly being “busy” isn’t the badge of honor we think it is. Instead of cramming 20 pounds of potatoes in a five-pound sack (yes, I’ve been guilty of that!), I want to show you how to break free from overcommitment, set boundaries, and create space to breathe in both your life and your business.
We’ll talk about:
-
The symptoms of hustle culture you might be experiencing right now (think exhaustion, snapping at loved ones, or feeling out of control).
-
The roots of busyness—fear of failure, pride, misplaced identity—and how they might be driving your decisions.
-
Biblical examples of rest and margin that model how we’re meant to live and lead, not hustle endlessly.
-
Practical ways to create space in your business, from delegating tasks like bookkeeping or social media to evaluating your calendar and cutting what doesn’t serve you.
-
How margin can fuel creativity, problem-solving, and long-term growth in your business.
If you’ve ever woken up already overwhelmed, ended your day still exhausted, or felt like you can’t keep up no matter how much you accomplish, this episode will encourage you to step off the hamster wheel and choose a better way.
It’s time to unsubscribe from hustle culture and start running your business with strategy, clarity, and margin. Let’s break up with busy—together.
