    From 80-Hour Workweeks to a Business That Runs Without Her with Sailynn Doyle

    Sailynn Doyle built a million-dollar business, but reaching the milestone did not feel the way she expected. Instead of celebrating, she found herself overwhelmed, working 80-hour weeks, and realizing that despite having a team, everything still ran through her. In this episode of The Building Well Podcast, Amanda Magho talks with Sailynn Doyle about what it took to redesign her business so it could operate without her and how that experience ultimately changed her definition of success. Sailynn says she eventually reduced her workload from 80 hours a week to just 16 while more than tripling the business's million-dollar revenue. Now a business strategist helping women with service-based businesses around the million-dollar mark, Sailynn shares insights on systems, delegation, specialized support teams, intentional networking, social media, perfectionism, and building a company for the long haul. She also opens up about choosing a simpler lifestyle after financial success, and shares why even experienced entrepreneurs have to recognize when it is time to slow down. It’s a conversation about building a successful business without allowing that business to consume the life you were building it for.

    Starting Over Later in Life After Corporate Success with Michelle Hsiao

    What happens when you leave a successful corporate career and the title that once introduced you no longer exists? After decades in retail and corporate leadership, including 16 years at Macy’s, Michelle Hsiao entered entrepreneurship and discovered that starting over required more than building a business.

In episode 18 of The Building Well Podcast, Amanda Magho talks with Michelle about starting entrepreneurship later in life, niching down after trying to do too much, building genuine relationships through deliberate and selfless networking, protecting your calendar, and using technology to work more efficiently.
