If you’re a service provider constantly buried in client work, struggling to find time for marketing, admin, or, you know… your actual life — this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Yay for Business podcast, I’m diving into the reality of time management for service providers and why traditional advice (like just “working harder” or batching tasks) isn’t cutting it. Instead, I introduce a super simple but game-changing concept I call the 50% Rule — and it will totally shift how you schedule your time.

The idea is this: client delivery should never take up more than 50% of your working hours. The other 50%? That’s reserved for the behind-the-scenes work that actually keeps your business running and growing — like marketing, systems, and CEO-level planning.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

• Why being “booked out” isn’t the goal

• The four departments every business needs

• How to use the 50% Rule to avoid burnout

• What CEO time actually looks like (and when to schedule it)
