You burnt out?


Happy Year of the Fire Horse, Reader!

I’m hosting a FREE live training next Tuesday at 7 PM Eastern:

Build the System That Pays You Back

We'll take a deeper look at the 4-step marketing system that every business needs to get an ROI.

This developed from me thinking a lot about what causes burnout in the online business space.

And I don’t think most women are actually burnt out.

I think we’re underpaid.

Underpaid financially. And over-efforting without systems designed to pay us back.

When I pivoted full time to being a business coach for women, this was largely what motivated me.

I had my own story of struggling to compete with my juice bar business.

But I also had a large data set from women business peers in NYC, and here's what I saw:

We were socialized to give first.
We are wired to serve generously.
We are not afraid to work harder.

And many of us are still recreating that pattern inside our own businesses.

🙋🏼‍♀️

Every year I get a little bolder in my mission to help more women build a system that pays them back for all that work.

In this live training, I’ll walk you through:

• The 4 levels of a sustainable marketing system
• What makes a signature offer actually convert
• Why most funnels feel heavy
• How to build infrastructure that pays you

You can save your seat here:
LET'S GOOOOO🔥!

And if you want the deeper backstory, I just released a podcast episode where I unpack this entire idea, including my own experience of confusing under-earning with burnout.

🎧 LISTEN NOW: Ep. 109 - Women Aren't Burnt Out, They're Underpaid

In my opinion, we really don’t need more hustle right now.

We need better foundations and better systems that are set up to return on your investment.

So, if you're feeling the "time to take action" vibes in the air today - you're spot on.

If ever there was a time for women to step further into financial stability and leadership, it's now.

Give the pod a listen, and join me next Tuesday at 7 pm ET for a deep dive on how your marketing system can and should support you working less and earning more.

With gratitude,

Deborah
