258: Learning How YOU Work
Let’s be real. A lot of us have been out here trying to follow someone else’s version of success. Copying the routines. Following the “rules.” Pushing ourselves to work in ways that don’t even feel natural. But if your business still feels off, it might not be about doing more. It might be about working differently. Working in a way that actually supports how you move.
In this solo episode, Monique is getting into the step that too many early-stage entrepreneurs skip: learning how you personally work best. This isn’t about another hustle routine or productivity hack. It’s about tuning into your rhythm, your energy, and your capacity and building a business that actually fits your life.
Especially as Black entrepreneurs, we’ve been told to push through, power up, and work twice as hard. But we don’t often hear that it’s okay to pause, reflect, and choose a way of working that protects your peace. That’s what this conversation is about.
If you’ve been checking all the boxes but still feel drained or stuck, this is your reminder that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your well-being.
THINGS YOU’LL LEARN DURING THIS EPISODE:
- Why many Black entrepreneurs feel stuck mimicking productivity instead of finding flow
- How to identify your natural work rhythm and align your schedule around it
- The difference between being productive vs. performing productivity for validation
- Practical ways to create systems that match your energy instead of drain it
- How to build flexibility into your routine so it supports you through changing seasons
