Issue 004: I'm tired.
Hi friendπ
I cried a little bit this afternoon.
Levi put me to bed with Holly for a nap. An hour later I woke up, felt human again, and recorded my third podcast of the day.
Starting a new company is hard. Starting two at the same time is kind of stupid. I'm an entrepreneur with 34 years of experience, and I did it anyway. I'm pretty sure it wasn't smart.
On June 1st, The Braless Entrepreneur went live. It's been my dream for a long time, and the women I'm getting to serve through mentoring, community, and training are astounding.
Yesterday, June 18th, we launched EveAndLevi.com. It's a training and consulting company built around AI, focused entirely on helping small businesses make more money and get their lives back.
I'll admit that feels a little hypocritical right now. Levi and I are in the middle of a sprint that has been non-stop for months. But as of tomorrow, we slow down. We've built AI systems that will let us run both companies with one virtual assistant, serve more clients than ever, and work on our companies for 40 hours a week.
That starts now. The sprint is over.
In a year, I think we're working four days a week and making exactly what we want by helping other small business owners do the same.
But today? I need another nap.
Most new companies have a launch sprint that feels urgent and wears you out. I'm glad this one is done.
I'm curious about you. When you start or grow a business, is it a big push or a gradual burn? Hit reply and tell me.
