Here's your host top ranked business coach and reformed over analyzer turned queen of clarity, Jenna Harrison.

Welcome. Welcome back to the uncommon way. Today we're talking about the initial shift that signals you're leaving behind the hot mess cycle [00:01:00] and becoming a calm and totally together CEO. In this episode you are going to discover the one mindset shift that makes everything in your business easier and why most people overlook it.

You'll learn how to stop self sabotaging and set up simple systems that actually support you instead of adding to the chaos. And you'll get a sneak peek at the exact steps that my client Lauren took. To transform her business and life so you can start applying them too. Now you might have a lot going on in your business, and probably your life, and you can end up feeling like a hot mess.

Balls get dropped, errors get made, opportunities pass you by, and you realize last minute you forgot about something really important. Often when I talk to women in that place, they think the solution is to just keep managing the way they have, or to do even more than they've been doing. So [00:02:00] please end there with even more than they've been doing.

Maybe they're thinking, oh, if I just spent more hours training my team, we wouldn't have these issues. Or if I just marketed myself more, we'd have more clients, and then I wouldn't have these issues. But the real answer is getting out of that hot mess cycle, rather than doing more. It's about making a shift so powerful that your business starts working for you instead of the other way around.

My client Lauren did exactly that, and I have an episode I'll link to where we talked about how she went from scrambling and second guessing to signing higher paying clients, streamlining her business, and feeling much more confident and in control as a CEO. Lauren came to me feeling overwhelmed, trying to do all the things for all the people while she was running her interior design business.

And she was working so hard, but still felt like she was never quite getting it right. And honestly, that's how so many entrepreneurs feel. We think that [00:03:00] being successful means handling everything ourselves, working longer hours, and pushing through exhaustion. But here's what I tell my clients. If you're constantly feeling stretched too thin, it is not a personal failing.

It's a systems problem. And almost always there's a mindset reason that is holding you back from creating those systems in the first place. So here's the biggest business shift that Lauren made. She stopped treating her business like something she had to chase and started setting it up to support her.

That meant detoxing everything that wasn't working, from outdated beliefs about success to clunky back end processes that made every project harder than it needed to be. And it meant stepping away from the constant chaos and building a structure that made her work easier and more profitable. And guess what?

Once she made this shift, the results followed fast. That is really [00:04:00] the one mindset shift that makes everything in your business easier because it allows you to start dialing in the business systems and the mental systems that you need. But most people overlook it because they assume that working harder is the only solution, and they're in reactive mode rather than proactive mode.

In reality, making this shift frees up your time and your energy to do what you And it increases your confidence to create real momentum in your business. Lauren set up systems that allowed her to deliver an amazing client experience without having to burn herself out. And she realized that she didn't have to run on stress and overwork in order to be successful.

And in order to see herself as successful, she was able to break that tie. And because of these things and other mindset work we were exploring, Lauren started attracting higher end clients who didn't blink at her new higher rates. This is such a perfect [00:05:00] example of how self sabotage creeps in, because before making these changes, Lauren didn't even realize she was keeping herself stuck.

But once she shifted her mindset and set up the right systems, things started falling into place. And once Lauren started showing up in her business differently, everything else started shifting too. She found herself feeling more present with her kids. More confident in her decision making, more willing to take the space she needed to actually enjoy her success.

She even started helping her own children develop a more empowered mindset, because when you step out of survival mode, that impact ripples out all around you. That's why I say this work isn't just about business, it transforms everything. Lauren's journey shows exactly how powerful these shifts can be.

And you can apply them too. If it's possible for her, it is possible for you. And if you want to hear more about how she did all of this, we break it all down in [00:06:00] the full episode. You'll hear how Lauren completely changed her approach to work, and the exact mindset shifts that made the biggest difference, and the surprising action that took her from overworked to thriving.
