Steph Blake: 我从一个传统的职业轨迹转向了企业家精神,这源于我意识到需要一个建立在简单性基础上的商业模式。在早期,我同时经营着八个不同的业务,这导致我每周工作80到100个小时。在怀孕后,我意识到我必须放慢脚步,重新评估我的生活和事业。我将我的业务重新配置,简化了流程,以便我每周只需工作20个小时。这让我能够在儿子出生两周后辞去全职工作,全身心地投入到我的事业中。现在,我专注于帮助其他人简化他们的业务,以便他们能够在不过度劳累的情况下实现目标。 我的方法包括:首先,识别并解决核心问题;其次,精简产品和服务,专注于核心价值主张;最后,利用自动化和外包来提高效率。通过这些步骤,企业家可以减少工作量,同时实现可持续的成功。 Jenny Wright: 我与Steph的经历产生了共鸣,因为我也有类似的经历,从小就习惯了高强度的工作。我们讨论了如何克服“闪亮目标综合征”和多动症等挑战,并保持专注。我们还探讨了如何通过简化业务流程来提高效率,例如使用合适的软件工具,并专注于核心业务。

Shownotes Transcript

What if your business could run smoother and more profitably with fewer tools, fewer tasks, and less overwhelm?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Steph Blake, founder of the Simple Business School, who went from a C-suite career in digital marketing to building a business that helps entrepreneurs streamline, scale, and ditch the hustle-for-hustle’s-sake mentality. We’re talking about why simplicity is the key to long-term success, the biggest mistakes business owners make when trying to "do it all," and how to set up your business in a way that actually supports the life you want to live.

Plus, Steph gets real about her journey with undiagnosed ADHD, battling shiny object syndrome, and how she channeled those experiences into creating an all-in-one software that makes running an online business so much easier.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the moving pieces in your business, this episode is packed with actionable, no-fluff strategies to help you simplify, scale, and still have time to breathe.

On This Week’s Episode, We Discuss:

  • How Steph transitioned from corporate to entrepreneurship—and why she knew she needed a business built around simplicity.
  • Why working harder isn’t the answer—breaking free from hustle culture and redefining success.
  • The #1 reason most business owners get stuck—and the small shifts that can lead to massive results.
  • Shiny Object Syndrome & ADHD in entrepreneurship—how to stay focused when every idea feels like “the one.”
  • Creating a streamlined business model that actually works—how Steph’s Simple Business Suite helps eliminate busywork.
  • The real secret to sustainable success—why automation, delegation, and simplification are non-negotiable.
  • Tools, strategies, and must-know tips—how to audit your current systems and cut the clutter from your daily workflow.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap to simplifying your business, cutting unnecessary stress, and focusing on what truly moves the needle.
