Overworking + Under-Earning

You’re closer than you think to working less and earning more! Right now, the biggest thing holding you back from making more money is that you’re doing too much for too little—whether it’s saying “yes” to too many things, over-delivering for clients, or trading too much time for money.

Why This Matters

Being busy isn’t the same as being profitable.

You might be fully booked but you’re still not making enough—which means something in your business model, pricing, or boundaries needs to shift.

The good news? You don’t have to work harder to make more money. You just need smarter systems, streamlined offers, and better boundaries so you can reclaim your time while increasing your revenue.

What to Do Next

  1. Audit Your Time vs. Revenue → Track how much time each service actually takes vs. how much it brings in. If you’re spending the most time on low-profit work, it’s time to adjust.
  2. Package Your Services for Profitability → Instead of trading hours for dollars, focus on bundling high-value outcomes so you can serve clients better—without overloading yourself.
  3. Set Boundaries & Enforce Them → Overworking often comes from people-pleasing. If clients expect unlimited access or extra work “just because,” it’s time to get clear on what’s included (and what’s not).
  4. Eliminate or Automate Low-Value Tasks → If something isn’t directly making you money – can it be automated, outsourced, or cut? Freeing up your time gives you more energy for higher-paying opportunities.
  5. Charge for Your Expertise, Not Just Your Time → Clients aren’t paying you for how long something takes—they’re paying for the results you deliver. If you’re overworked but underpaid, your pricing model likely needs an upgrade.
