Chapter 14 of The Off Switch: Vision First, Business Second

Seven years into business, I had a moment that stopped me in my tracks.
It wasn’t a client, a coach, or a mentor who shook me awake, it was my five-year-old daughter, on Christmas Day. 🎄

She reminded me of something I’d been missing all along: traditional business plans don’t ask how your life fits into them. They demand numbers, strategy, and outcomes. But they don’t ask: What actually matters to you?

That was the day I realized business should never be built in isolation from life. And that’s exactly what Chapter 14 of The Off Switch is all about.

Vision First 

Forget society, friends, and the endless scroll of social media. Your vision has to start with you.

👉 What lights you up?
 👉 What kind of life do you want to wake up to?
 👉 What does success look like not for the world, but for you and your family?

When you get clear on your vision, the rest starts to fall into place.

Align Your Business

Boundaries Matter

Minimize Interruptions

Progress Beats Perfection

Accept Help

Your Next Step

The Power Hour 

Your business should be the vehicle that supports your vision, not the monster that drains it.

For some, that’s a small, flexible business that leaves room for school pickups, family dinners, and weekends free. For others, it’s a larger business with a team that supports bold, ambitious goals.

Neither is wrong. What matters is that your business aligns with your life.

I teach my clients to use a weekly Power Hours dedicated block of time to review your priorities, make decisions, and stick to them.

When you let your calendar guide you instead of flying blind, you stop reacting and start creating.


Let’s be real: if you don’t communicate your boundaries, no one will respect them.

Set them. Share them. Enforce them.

Your time, energy, and focus are your most valuable assetsprotect them fiercely.
Distractions aren’t just digital. Notifications, pings, and constant interruptions erode your focus and your results.

Create time blocks where you’re fully present in your work and fully present in your life. Both deserve your attention, but not at the same time.

Waiting for perfection? That’s just procrastination dressed up as preparation.

Get started. Do the thing. Progress will always move you further than perfection ever could.
This one’s tough for high-achieving women: accept help.

Whether it’s in your home, in your business, or in your community, stop carrying the load alone. Lean into the discomfort of receiving support, and you’ll be amazed at what opens up for you.

If you’re ready to design a business that serves your life not the other way aroundChapter 14 is your wake-up call.

But don’t just read it. Act on it.
