17. What Separates Women Who Stay Stuck From Women Who Break Through
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
If you're putting in the effort but not seeing the breakthrough — this episode will show you why more hustle is the wrong answer.
Shay pulls a deceptively simple business strategy from Ecclesiastes 10:10 — the sharp axe versus the dull axe — and applies it directly to why some entrepreneurs keep breaking through ceiling after ceiling while others stay stuck at the same level despite working just as hard. She builds a practical five-part framework (S-H-A-R-P) for diagnosing where you've gone dull and exactly how to get sharp again — spiritually, physically, intellectually, relationally, and in how you protect it all.
If business has started to feel like hacking at a tree with a dull blade, this episode is the sharpener.
