Ever feel like your to-do list is running you instead of the other way around? But also if you've had a busy day then you've accomplished something?

You’re not alone.

In this week’s episode of Small Business Growth Addicts, I’m joined by the brilliant Hannah Chambers, founder of Bored of Busy — a business and life success strategist who helps female founders create full lives, not just busy ones.

Hannah blends practical structure (think Asana boards, systems, and routines) with mindset and self-leadership coaching to help women lead their businesses with ease, clarity, and intention.

How To Work With Intention

We dive deep into what it really means to work with intention — and how to build a business that gives you freedom, not burnout.

Here’s what you’ll hear us chat about:

• How to stop measuring success by how busy you are

• Why self-leadership is the most underrated growth strategy

• The difference between a full life and a busy one

• Tools and systems that make things feel lighter (Asana, SOPs, time-blocking — all the good stuff)

• How to work with your natural energy instead of fighting it

• Why “fun” is the most powerful business strategy of all

• Oh, and the great digital vs pen-to-paper planner debate

🗣️ “Fun is the biggest business strategy. If you’re not having fun, what’s the point?” – Hannah

💡 “One of the most basic things you can do for your business is just do what you said you were going to do.” – Amanda

👀 “We’re not meant to hold more than 15 bits of information at once … so no wonder we feel overwhelmed!” – Hannah

You’ll walk away from this episode with:

• A fresh perspective on success, structure, and productivity

• Practical ways to simplify your systems so you can breathe again

• Permission to stop doing what doesn’t light you up

• Confidence to run your business your way — intentionally

Whether you’re a pen-to-paper planner like me 🖊️ or a digital Asana queen like Hannah 💻, this episode will remind you there’s no “right” way to run your business — only the way that works for you. 🎧 Listen Now
