EP 36: Build Less, Earn More. The Anti Hustle Business Model with Lydia Lee

In this episode of the Nomad CEO Podcast, I sit down with Lydia Lee to challenge the idea that more growth, more hustle & more hours equals success. This conversation is about building a business that actually supports your life, not consumes it. What we dive into • The Tiny Business Method: building small, profitable & sustainable businesses • Defining your version of enough instead of chasing more • Designing a business around your lifestyle, not the other way around • Letting go of vanity metrics & external pressure • Creating space for rest, reflection & real alignment Lydia’s approach to business & life • Working 25 hours a week with intentional structure • Mondays for deep thinking, planning & alignment • Fridays for connection, creativity & flexibility • Quarterly solo retreats for clarity & vision • Prioritizing health therapy & listening to your body Other notes: • Just because you can grow does not mean you should • If your business is costing you your life, it is not a success • You get to decide what enough looks like • Alignment will always outperform burnout • The goal is not more, it is better This episode is for entrepreneurs who are tired of hustle culture & ready to build something intentional, profitable, & aligned with the life they actually want Connect with Lydia Lee - Website: http://screwthecubicle.com [http://screwthecubicle.com] - Free Quiz: https://screwthecubicle.com/tiny-business-quiz [https://screwthecubicle.com/tiny-business-quiz] - Youtube: https://youtube.com/screwthecubicle [https://youtube.com/screwthecubicle] - Instagram: https://instagram.com/screw_the_cubicle [https://instagram.com/screw_the_cubicle] - LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lydiallee [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lydiallee]   Enjoying the conversation?
