How to balance your business and life without burnout

Most people start a business for more freedom, but end up working longer hours than they did in their day job.

That was me in 2011 when I started Beautifully Organised.

I wanted more time with my kids, more control over my schedule, and a business that supported my dream lifestyle, and I thought running an organising business would give me that.

Instead, I was working just as many hours, wearing ALL the hats, and burning out fast.

Everything changed when I stopped building a business that looked “busy” and started creating one that actually gave me time freedom.

Now I run two online businesses and work just a couple of hours a day.

And in this season of my life - where I’m taking on more of a caring role for the next few months - this has been INCREDIBLY helpful.

Here’s what’s helping me the most:

🧠 Prioritising strategy over hustle

🗓️ Planning my goals, then breaking them into simple quarterly actions

📲 Automating client bookings, sales, and content

🙋‍♀️ Paying for help so I’m not doing it all myself

🌿 Treating self care & time for myself as non-negotiable

💸 Creating passive products to bring in sales every day

You don’t need to do MORE to grow your business.

You just need to build a business that works for YOU.
