If you want weekends off, a manageable stress level, and a business you love, you just might be looking for a "lifestyle business."

Often disparaged as not a serious business, we deeply disagree and actually think that they require more discipline and excellence than someone who works 80+ hour weeks due to a lack of boundaries or a bigger picture for their success. 

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss what is a lifestyle business and why it's a worthy pursuit for vision-led entrepreneurs. You will discover:

• The concept of a lifestyle business and how it offers a balance between work and personal life
• Why the entrepreneur's 60 to 80-hour workweek culture can be detrimental to personal well-being and relationships
• How a lifestyle business can provide freedom, fulfillment, and alignment with one's vision
• The importance of self-investment and the "tending triad" concept from the Superabound book
• Practical steps for transitioning to a lifestyle business, including time management, delegation, and leveraging AI

• Addressing team members' fears about AI replacing their roles, and how to position it as a collaborative tool
• Maximizing AI's potential across the entire launch process - from prep work to post-launch analysis

As vision-led entrepreneurs, it's easy to get caught up in the constant push and grind of our work, leaving us feeling depleted rather than energized. In this episode, Erin and Steve offer a different approach—tapping into your inner flame with the idea of "lanterns."

• A simple exercise to ensure your weekly activities are truly lantern-aligned
