This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast. I literally want you to do less. Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break. The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now. Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”. This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories. The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts. In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊 In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less. That’s it. Subscribe now so you don’t miss an episode and have fun listening while you drive, do the dishes, or mow the lawn!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T22:17:18.842914+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871"},"episode":{"title":"The Early Mistakes You Are Still Carrying","slug":"the-early-mistakes-you-are-still-carrying","published_at":"2026-02-17T11:00:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871/the-early-mistakes-you-are-still-carrying","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-early-mistakes-you-are-still-carrying--69977962","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69977962/the_mistakes_you_made_when_starting_that_you_carry_with_you.mp3","summary":"Why do two-thirds of small businesses fail in the first few years? Show Summary: In this episode, I break down the three patterns I’ve seen since I started coaching in 2007 that quietly derail entrepreneurs and busy professionals. The stats say only about 30 percent make it long term. From my experience, the difference usually comes down to experience, confidence, and planning. These issues start early, but if left unchecked, they follow you forever. The good news is each one is fixable. Takeaways: • A lack of continued experience keeps people repeating the same mistakes year after year. • A lack of confidence often grows from not recognizing what you already know. • A lack of planning turns every week into reactive chaos instead of intentional progress. Action For You To Take: This week, do three simple things. First, identify one skill gap and commit to learning something specific about it. Second, write down ten things you already know how to do well to rebuild confidence. Third, spend ten minutes planning your week around one clear priority.
