Managing time as a busy entrepreneur can feel like an uphill battle, especially when juggling multiple roles and passions.

Anna shares her journey of balancing a thriving coaching business, digital product growth, and family life—all while keeping her sanity intact.
We’re so honored to have Anna as a client in our agency, and we can’t wait for you to hear her wisdom!
Strategic Time Blocking with the “Boulders, Big Rocks, and Pebbles” Method
Anna introduces her unique approach to prioritizing tasks: thinking of them as boulders, big rocks, and pebbles. By categorizing your to-dos into these three types, you can focus on what truly moves the needle in your business and life. This method is especially effective for those struggling to carve out time for high-impact projects like launching a digital product.
Mastering the Art of Delegation Without Guilt
Anna has felt the guilt associated with delegating tasks. She emphasizes the importance of letting go of tasks that don’t align with your strengths or passions. Finding the right people to support your business—whether it’s a VA, a marketing expert, or an integrator—can free up your time to focus on the big picture.
Creating an Ideal Week Template
To maximize productivity, Anna suggests setting up an ideal week template. This framework helps you balance client work, content creation, team meetings, and special projects like digital product development. By having a recurring structure, you ensure there’s always space for what matters most.
Overcoming Unexpected Setbacks with Grace
Life doesn’t always go according to plan—Anna knows this firsthand after breaking her wrist during a major launch. She shares how she adapted by outsourcing more tasks to our team and adjusting her communication style to keep everything on track. Her story is a great reminder that flexibility and a good support system are crucial for overcoming unexpected challenges.
Batching and Quarterly Planning for Maximum Efficiency
For those who thrive on consistency, Anna recommends batch days or quarterly planning days. Setting aside specific days for content creation, project work, or even self-care can help keep you on track without feeling overwhelmed. It’s all about creating a rhythm that works for you and your business.
