In this powerful episode of The Real Women, Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn explores why many entrepreneurs only take action after facing painful setbacks and how to shift into a more proactive approach to leadership. Through relatable stories (including a jaw-dropping cockroach incident in a staged home) and hard-won lessons, Shauna Lynn reveals the hidden costs of procrastination, underpricing, weak boundaries, and neglected systems.
Listeners will gain clarity on how to set contracts and policies that act as true boundary-setting tools, why pricing for sustainability (not survival) transforms your energy and income, and how small, consistent actions today can protect your future self from burnout and regret. With her trademark mix of honesty and encouragement, Shauna Lynn challenges entrepreneurs to stop learning everything the hard way and instead build habits, systems, and support networks that make business not just profitable but genuinely enjoyable.
Tune in to hear how you can stop waiting for the “cockroaches” in your business before making the changes you already know you need. Share this episode with a fellow entrepreneur who could use a reminder that prevention is always easier than repair.
