Bold Qualifiers for the “Downshifting” segment of TinyBiz Community:

You’ve given your business your all. And it’s been good. And now… it’s not the way you want to live.

When running your business is running your life, yes, you have the income, but it’s costing ALL your time and energy.

But you find there’s something you care about more, something you don’t want to let slip away (your song to sing, your family legacy, showing up, having fun).

To be more present for what matters most.

You realize you want to downshift, but you’re not sure whether it’s really possible in your case… Here’s what it takes to get started.

If you are
• A service-based business owner (not brick & mortar, not manufacturing, could be a maker)
• With a functional (profitable) business
• And a baseline (80-90%) household income elsewhere (spouse, retirement, passive)
So you’ve realized you no longer “have to” hustle to maximize income,

And you want to downshift without going under – you’re
• Willing to learn to shed what you’ve outgrown while keeping what you love most
• Can put in some leveraged time – 5-10 hours per step (by the week or month is up to you)
• Found the limits of continuous-growth culture and yearn for a different perspective – and REAL guidance

Your first step is to explore which areas of your business to streamline first for your situation, then we can talk about the how.
