What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your strategy—but the business rules you've been told to follow? For so many women entrepreneurs, success comes with a long list of expectations: always be available, say yes to every opportunity, keep scaling no matter the cost, and put your business ahead of everything else. But what if those "rules" are actually preventing profitable business growth instead of creating it?In this episode, Laura challenges five of the most common beliefs that shape modern entrepreneurship and explains why they deserve to be left behind. Drawing on more than a decade of experience, countless mentorship investments, and her own evolution as a business owner mom, she shares why building a successful business doesn't require sacrificing your boundaries, your family, or your vision.You'll discover why being constantly available isn't the same as delivering exceptional service, why the customer isn't always right, and why saying yes to every opportunity often leads to burnout instead of business growth. Laura also explores the pressure many female business owners feel to keep scaling, even when they've already built a business that supports the life they want. Because the strongest business growth strategy isn't built around someone else's definition of success—it's built around yours. This conversation offers practical business advice for mothers who want to grow ambitious businesses without losing themselves in the process.
