Burnout Isn't a You Problem — It's a Pricing Problem
Let's just say it out loud: you didn't build a business to feel like a hamster on a wheel.
You stepped out in faith, bet on yourself, and started serving people with the gifts God put in you — and somewhere along the way, it started feeling like a second shift you can't clock out of. Sound familiar?
Here's what nobody tells you when you're first getting started: the exhaustion you're feeling isn't a sign that you're doing too much. It's a sign that you're charging wrong.
Sis, Hourly Pricing Is the Problem
I know that might sting a little. But stay with me.
When you charge by the hour, you are literally building a ceiling into your own business. Every dollar you earn is tied directly to how many hours you can physically work — and last time I checked, there are only 24 of those in a day. You can hustle harder, say yes to more clients, skip more lunches... and you will still hit that same wall.
That's not a time management issue. That's not a discipline issue. That is a structural issue — and it's one you have the power to change.
God didn't give you this vision, this talent, and this tenacity so you could trade your hours for pennies and call it a business. He called you to build something. Something that scales.
Why Working Harder Will Never Be the Answer
Here's the thing about hourly pricing that really gets me: it punishes you for being good at what you do.
The faster you get, the more efficient you become, the less you make per project. So you work harder, you get better, and your bank account doesn't move. No wonder resentment starts creeping in.
That quiet voice asking "Is this even worth it?" — that's not doubt. That's discernment. Your spirit is telling you that the model isn't aligned with the mission.
What Actually Changes When You Stop Selling Time
When you shift from selling hours to selling outcomes — when you price like a CEO instead of an employee — everything changes.
Not just the money (though yes, the money changes too). The way you show up for clients changes. The way you design your offers changes. The way you protect your energy changes. You stop working more and start working smarter, which is exactly what sustainable, Spirit-led business looks like.
You get to build something that serves your clients and honors your life.
You Were Made to Scale
If you're booked out, burnt out, or quietly wondering how much longer you can keep this up — I want you to know this isn't the end of your story. This is just the part where the strategy shifts.
You didn't come this far to stay stuck in a model that was never designed to take you where God is calling you.
There is a better way. And you are ready for it.
