Summary
Welcome back to the Hustle From Home podcast! In this third episode, our hosts, Josh Ellis and Amy Anderson, talk to Emily Ley, founder of Simplified and creator of its signature product the Simplified Planner. Having started her company during a recession, Emily knows a thing or two about taking a passion project and turning it into a full-fledged business endeavor. And through the years of building her business, she’s always maintained a family focus.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about productivity—sharpening your focus, and balancing work and life. Emily joins us to talk about her best strategies for organizing your priorities to live a more intentional life.
The advice we cover today is important for us right now as we’re all feeling pulled in so many different directions. You can get it all done. Take it from Emily, who does it all from home while loving on her three kids and her husband.
“The purpose here isn’t perfection,” Emily says. “Giving yourself the grace to do the best you can, where you are, with what you have, and just keep going—that is bold.”
A few things you’ll hear in this episode are:
- New perspectives on time, such as priorities and importance
- Expectations for what it truly takes to start a side hustle vs. a full-time business
- The Simplified systems and strategies to balance work, side hustle and family
