A Calmer Q4 for Ecommerce Founders
For fellow ecommerce founders: as Q4 ramps up, remember not everything deserves your time and energy. You don’t have to personally put out every fire, and you don’t need to totally neglect family commitments around the holidays. Just because Q4 has always felt overwhelming doesn’t mean there isn’t a better way forward.
What if your business was built around your life, not at the expense of it?
The year I became a mom, our ecommerce company crossed the 7-figure mark in annual revenue. I was incredibly proud—and completely overwhelmed.
Like many business owners, my husband (and business partner) and I seriously considered what success looked like to us. We didn’t want to keep growing at the expense of what matters most and can’t be replaced: our family, health, and time.
So we made some unconventional choices to prioritize our family, even if it meant slower growth or doing things differently than most.
It wasn’t easy, but it shaped the kind of business we wanted to build—and more importantly, the kind of life we wanted to live.
Protect your time and energy this Q4. Redefine what success looks like for you, not what hustle culture tells you. Don’t be afraid to be unconventional and do what works for you.
