The Real Problem
Your business has four enemies. They're not your competitors.
They're stealing your evenings, your weekends, your presence at home. And they have names.
The Time Thief
The business itself — an ever-present thief of the moments that matter most. Missed bedtimes. Distracted Sundays. Date nights hijacked.
“You kissed your kid goodnight but your mind was writing a proposal.”
The Drainer
The demanding client who treats your time and expertise like an unlimited resource. 10pm texts. Fifth revisions. Boundaries treated as suggestions.
“You dread seeing their name on your phone.”
The Disrespecter
The cheap client who haggles your rate, then expects VIP service. More time justifying your value than delivering it.
“They took your strategy, ran with it alone, came back when it failed.”
The Silent Guilt
The heaviest villain. Physically present but emotionally absent. At the dinner table but not in the conversation.
“Your spouse stopped sharing things. They knew you were distracted.”
