The Month That Changes Everything: Treat Your Business Like a 9-to-5

Welcome to Good Girls Get Rich! I’m your host, Karen Yankovich, and and today, I’m diving into a conversation that is so close to my heart.

Let’s face it, we all remember the grind of the 9-to-5 world. The alarm clocks, the long commutes, the hustle to meet deadlines. But what if we brought that same level of commitment and structure into our own businesses for just ONE month?

Episode Highlights:

In this episode, I’m breaking down the mindset shifts we need to move from employee to entrepreneur—and I’m not talking about working 10-hour days forever. I’m talking about putting intentional, focused effort into our businesses, just like we did when we had someone else to be accountable to. If you’re feeling the burnout or your 2024 isn’t shaping up the way you’d hoped, this episode is for you!

• Why treating your business with the same structure as your 9-to-5 could change EVERYTHING!
