How to Build a Business That Actually Fits Your Life
You’ve got a dream tucked into the back of your brain (and probably a thousand tabs open too). You’re juggling family, laundry, maybe even a job… and yet something in you still whispers, “I want to build something of my own.”
That was me, too.
I didn’t have a roadmap or a business degree — just a love for creating, teaching, and figuring things out as I went. I built a thriving online business during quiet times, homeschool breaks, and honestly… in a lot of messy, imperfect moments.
So if you’re standing at the beginning, wondering where to start? You’re in exactly the right place.
You don’t need a big audience or a 5-year plan — you just need a business that fits
Most advice skips straight to tactics: “Build your list!” “Pick a niche!” “Start a podcast!”
But if you don’t know what kind of business actually fits your life right now, you’re more likely to burn out than break through.
That’s why the very first step isn’t action.
It’s alignment.
My approach: Build with clarity, not chaos
Here’s what I believe:
- You can build a business that feels like you.
- You don’t need to hustle 24/7 or follow what everyone else is doing.
- Your season of life matters — and your business should respect it.
If you’re raising kids, homeschooling, caregiving, or just trying to get through the day without a meltdown… your business should support you, not drain you.
That’s what I teach here — how to build something that’s profitable, sustainable, and fits your real life.
Your first step: Take the F.I.T. Test
Before you build a website, write a sales page, or create your first offer — take 10 minutes to check in with yourself.
The F.I.T. Test is a simple (but powerful) way to filter your idea through:
- Your current season of life
- Your personal values and strengths
- Your most aligned business model
It’s not a quiz with a score. It’s a guided gut-check that helps you move forward with clarity — not confusion.
