Balancing Business Success and Family Time: Practical Strategies with Brittany Strum

47m · Girl Means Business · 12 Jul 10:00

Have you ever wished you could balance a successful business, while still enjoying time with your family? I sat down with Brittany Strum, a seasoned family and newborn photographer, who not only succeeded in doing that, but also offers wisdom on how to accomplish it in less than 15 hours a week. Brittany's journey from a hobbyist to a full-time photographer and entrepreneur is truly inspiring and filled with practical advice that will benefit any small business owner. 

In the midst of juggling my own business and personal life, I've found a method to squeeze in work hours without sacrificing family time, and I'm excited to share it with you. I've also done a thorough time audit to locate areas where I can efficiently batch or outsource tasks. It's all about redefining success, understanding the value of time, and cherishing the joys of actively participating in my children's lives.

This episode is packed with practical productivity and time management strategies. We also dive into the crucial topic of teaching children autonomy from a young age, and how societal pressures can often make us forget its importance. We also delve into the art of automating and outsourcing tasks, which can significantly lighten our load. You'll hear about creating traditions out of convenience, and how something as simple as a Friday night pizza can bring comfort and familiarity to your family. This is an episode filled with nuggets of wisdom that will help you rethink how you spend your time, both personally and professionally.
