I so agree that you need to watch where you put your energy! So important to prioritize since we all have a limited amount.

Right? I can burn myself out if I’ve got too many side projects.

I love Sarah's work! I think the advice to make sure where you're putting your energy aligns with your priorities is so key! I find myself squirreling off on side quests before realizing they don't ultimately serve my goals all of the time. (Although I heartily advocate for trying some experiments as well, even if the specific return on your time isn't clear at first.) And I love the reminder to stop doing things just because they're "expected" of business owners, if they're not ultimately serving you!

Kate, you point out some gems! I have to pay attention to how I'm spending my energy because sometimes I can go off on side quests as well. And striving to meets expectations is another struggle. Such insightful feedback.
