Ep. 133: Are You Running Your Business or is Your Business Running You?

Feeling like your 9-to-5 just turned into a 5-to-9? In this episode of Unfilter Yourself, Josie Smith dives deep into the reality of entrepreneurship burnout and why so many women business owners feel trapped by their own businesses. If you’re working endless hours, juggling client calls, emails, social media, and content creation—but still not seeing the revenue or results you dreamed of—this episode is for you.

Josie breaks down the signs your business is controlling you, the difference between busywork and strategic progress, and actionable steps to regain control. Learn how to prioritize money-making activities, systematize your business with tools like Trello, Asana, Notion, HoneyBook, and Dubsado, and create structures for client onboarding, content planning, and finances. She also shares practical strategies for setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and prioritizing CEO-level thinking so your business works for you—not the other way around.

Whether you’re a coach, service-based entrepreneur, or side-hustler, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and actionable tools to stop being a slave to your business and start running it with intention.
