Hey everyone, today I'm talking with Rena Duell, a business coach at One Team Partners who supports female small business entrepreneurs in leading with clarity, confidence, and purpose without burning out. After years of balancing leadership, motherhood, and constant travel, Rena hit a breaking point that brought serious health challenges and forced her to rethink how she was running her business and her life. Now she helps women build sustainable leadership habits around self-leadership, decision-making, and momentum so success doesn't come at the expense of wellbeing. Welcome, Rena.
Key Discussion Themes:
• The assumptions that quietly run a business into the ground, including work harder, never say no, and never turn away an opportunity
• Why a priority is singular even though our lists never are, and how Rena keeps pulling herself back to the one thing
• Beating decision fatigue by getting decisions out of your head, plus the start up and shut down routines that stop the swirl
• Why self-leadership comes before any new tool or system, and why sleep is the one thing she will not trade
Listener Takeaway:
Before you go looking for the next piece of software to fix the overwhelm, look at how you are working. The internal systems are what make every external system work better.
