What Stage Is Your Business In? A Chronic Illness-Friendly Way to Map Your Business Season

Feeling behind in your business—or like you’re trying to do all the things with zero spoons? In this episode, I walk you through the 5 stages of the Sustainable CEO Pathway and help you figure out what season you're really in (and why that matters more than hitting 6 figures fast).

We’ll unpack what sustainable success actually looks like for entrepreneurs with chronic illness and unpredictable energy—and how to stop trying to leap ahead to passive income before you're ready.

 

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The #1 reason so many of us stall out (and why it's not laziness)

• How to shift from guilt to grace when progress feels slow

• Four common mindset traps that keep you stuck

• A practical way to assess what your business actually needs next

 

Whether you're in Survive or heading toward Thrive, this episode will help you honor your capacity and build something that lasts.
