Are You Building A Business Or Just A Busy Life?

The 1099 life is a high-stakes game. Autonomy is great, but the ‘feast or famine’ cycle and constant distraction are the hidden costs of being on autopilot. It’s time to stop reacting and start leading.
Take the Mentally Awake Strategic Audit

Your 1099 Operating System:

Every business has a Chassis (your 5 Pillars) and an Engine (your 5 Processes).

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s usually because a ‘shock absorber’ is broken or your engine is rattling.

This audit identifies exactly where your system is failing so you can focus on Revenue Generating Activities, not just busywork .

The Filing Guy: You love a system, but you’re at risk of analysis paralysis. You might be over-organizing things that don’t make you money.

The Carny: You have a carnival in your head—high energy, high creativity, but total chaos. You’re likely drowning in to-do lists that never get done..

Which one are you? Our diagnostic tells you exactly where you sit on the continuum

plan to your inbox immediately.
