Is being booked out six weeks straight really the holy grail of business success? While a packed calendar might look like winning from the outside, many staging business owners find themselves stressed, stretched thin, and wondering if this is truly success.

Today, I talk about the difference between being "booked out" and being "booked right." You'll discover why a constantly full calendar might actually be limiting your growth potential and keeping you trapped in a cycle of overwhelm.

Beyond that, I also talk about the strategic shift from being an overworked founder to becoming a CEO who makes intentional decisions about which clients and projects deserve space on your calendar.

Do you feel like you are trapped in a continual grind? This episode will challenge your perspective on what sustainable business success really looks like in the staging industry.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why Being Booked Out Can Be a Business Trap
• How to Filter Clients and Projects for Maximum Profit
• The principle of Strategic Pricing and Capacity Management
• The Four-Step System to Transition from Overbooked to Strategic

Today, we are replaying an episode on our 'Most Valuable Podcasts" list ! I hope you learn one or two new things from it.

Are you feeling like your business growth isn't as smooth as you hoped? Like you're taking two steps forward and a couple back? You're in what I call "the messy middle" – that challenging phase where you're growing your team, but things still feel chaotic. This week, I am guiding you into a candid look of what it really takes to build a team that can run your business without you.

Frankly, even established businesses like mine went through bumps, hiccups, and hard conversations to get where we are now! I hope that a peek behind the curtain of my own journey reminds you that what you're experiencing isn't a sign you're doing something wrong—it's evidence you're doing the hard work of leveling up.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why "the messy middle" is a necessary rite of passage for every growing business
• The dating analogy of building a team that can operate without you
• How to recognize when you're on the edge of a breakthrough (hint: it often feels like breakdown first)
• How to shift your perspective when things feel hard and chaotic
