From Overworked to Overjoyed: Designing a business that gives you freedom first, and enhances your life instead of overrunning it

In this episode, we dive into a common mistake many business owners make that leads to unhappiness and burnout: not designing their lifestyle first. You think you'll be happy once you're successful but psychology studies (especially in recent years!) have found that the opposite is true.

So you HAVE to take care of your mind and body and lifestyle and schedule as a priority above the income... vs the other way around. And then the income will be more likely.

We explore why it's crucial to prioritize your desired lifestyle and how to align your business to support it.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE anyway?

Serial entrepreneurs, quick-starters, researchers, nerds and goofballs. This show is for business owners who love interesting conversations about how minds work.

After many years of running several high-profit multi-6-figures/year businesses (with very little team and a super tiny audience), Molly & Jason are the brains behind WhyPeopleDoStuff.com - a place for entrepreneurs to learn more about how their audience's mind works... what people want, why they buy, how they think, and how to work out your OFFERS and sales skills around those core key psychological quirks and rules.

Molly is a self-proclaimed people nerd. Mildly extroverted, bubbly, empathetic and a "genius" according to her friends and kids. She collects coffee mugs and introverts.

Jason is a critical thinking analyzer... picking apart puzzles and proudly carrying an "Extreme Introvert" label.

Their kids (Kyle, Julia and Casey) are homeschooled, taken all over the world (thanks to the online business lifestyle!) and spend an inordinate amount of time talking about psychology. Occasionally the kids will make appearances on the show as well... talking about things that they themselves have become early experts in.

The show will also have other guests on, helping all of us entrepreneurs love & understand the wonderful world of... why people do stuff.

About the Podcast

Why People Do Stuff
Understanding Yourself + Your Audience = More $
This is the podcast for entrepreneurs all about why people (including you and your audience) do what they do.

Psychology and behavior insights to help you understand yourself as a business owner, and your audience, so you can influence and SELL more of your amazing programs, courses and services.

This is brand spanking new, and lots of amazing things coming so make sure you subscribe or follow on your listening app of choice.

This podcast explores why your audience would buy what you offer (or why not!)... from marketing psychology, mental triggers, personality types, influence + persuasion... to things that impact what you include in your offers and programs, pricing strategies and secrets behind successful (and failed!) online launches.

And, on top of that, why we all, as business owners, or parents of entrepreneurially minded kiddos, or introverts or extroverts do all the things we do. And even how to influence and predict these behaviors so we can have more fascinating interactions, make more impact, and be more successful in life and business.

This podcast is hosted by the creators of whypeopledostuff.com, serial entrepreneurs who have had our own journey of figuring things out from $0 failures, all the way to 6 figure launches of our online programs.

Join us as we talk about, and with, some of the brightest minds in the world about life, business, and psychology… and what it takes to really understand why people do stuff.
