If your business is thriving, clients are rolling in, and your offers are solid but your marketing still feels like a one-woman show, you’re not alone. In this episode of the Revolutionary CEO podcast, we’re unpacking what it really takes to build a sustainable marketing system that doesn’t rely on your energy or availability.
I’m sharing the real shifts I made to get out of burnout mode and into strategic momentum without hiring a team or doing the most. If you’re done being the whole marketing department and just want systems that support your genius (not drain it), this one’s for you.
Topics Covered:
- How doing everything yourself drains your time, creativity, and growth
- Why cutting tasks and high-frequency content led to smarter marketing
- Why simplification is a legitimate growth strategy
- The systems I built that act like a team (without hiring one)
- How I prioritized what actually drives leads and revenue
- My favorite tech stack for low-effort, high-return marketing
- The biggest hiring mistake I made and how I’d do it differently
- The truth about burnout in business (that no one says out loud)
