Frequently asked questions this episode answers:

What do you do when your business stops feeling fun?

Start by identifying whether the problem is the work itself or the way you've structured around the work. Most of the time, the passion is still there, it's just buried under tasks, obligations, and a business model that grew away from you.

Why does my business feel like a job?

Usually because you built systems around hustle instead of around how you actually operate. When your business is designed for someone else's energy, it will always feel like effort.

How do I fall back in love with my business?

You stop performing and start playing. That looks different for every entrepreneur, but it almost always starts with subtracting before you add anything new.
