She Works only 5 Hours Every Day. Thanks to Her Intentional Strategy.

I discovered Maya on Medium a couple years ago. I immediately loved her authenticity and her story.

She started selling about pages for $5 on Fiverr. She was good, she was killing it. But it was also killing her. Too much work on a tight schedule.

So, she started taking back the reins. She decided what her business and life should look like. This changed everything and put her on a growing, but balanced, trajectory.

Now she makes a living working just 5 hours per day. She has just two clients and an engaged audience that loves her.

Listen to the recording to know how she made that switch. Here are 3 insights from the episode every creator and solopreneur should hear:

1. You don’t need permission — just decide.
   Clarity doesn’t come first. Courage does. Most people wait too long.

2. Strategy is about decisions, not plans.
   What are you aiming for? What will you not do? What signal will tell you you’re on the right track?

3. Self-awareness is your best business tool.
   The faster you figure out what works for you, the faster things click. Copying others won’t get you there.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

And let us know:

What is something you don’t like that must disappear from your strategy?
