This week’s guest is a business strategist and friend I absolutely adore. Hannah Murphy used to work 7 days a week as a pinterest + blog agency owner, fighting through the online noise of all the ways she should spend her time, only to find her to-do list was ever growing while her revenue stalled. Hannah realized creating a productive schedule wasn't about doing more tasks quickly, but rather doing the right tasks effectively, and less overall.
Today’s case study reveals how Hannah gradually reduced her work schedule to a 5 hour week while growing from 3 to 27 retainer clients in just 6 months. Listen in to see how you can also create a schedule that reflects your personality, priorities, and drives profit.
