Can you really have it all?
let’s level up:
Grow Yourself To Grow Your BusinessSmash through growth ceilings,
Bonnie is six now. Six years of cheeky smiles, tangled hair, little hands reaching for mine. And five years since I began Maximum Growth. I remember wondering how I could possibly hold all of it: Running a business. Consulting privately. Being a Mum. Being in a relationship. Showing up for my friendships. Looking after myself. It wasn’t just how I would do it.
Secretly, I Wanted It AllNot in the polished, airbrushed way. But in the real, grounded, present way. I didn’t want to sacrifice motherhood to lead. Or silence my ambition to be present at bedtime. I wanted to live fully inside my values — not rank them. To be a mother. A founder. A student of life. A woman building something real and meaningful. Here’s What I’ve LearnedWanting it all doesn’t mean doing it all. It means letting go of perfect timelines. Of what should be done by now. Of what success has to look like. If a launch takes 6 months longer because I prioritised my daughter, my health, or a friend in crisis, that’s not a delay. That’s alignment. It’s choosing to grow at a pace that honours the whole human I am and not just the part that performs. Structure Creates SpaceI don’t do “balance.” But I do structure. Because without it, everything blurs and I disappear into the noise. So I block out space: For work. For movement. For stillness. For the people I love. Because having it all isn’t about pushing harder or squeezing more in. It’s about doing it with intention. To the Founder Who Wants More Than Just a BusinessMaybe you’re holding multiple identities too. Builder. Leader. Partner. Parent. Friend. Caregiver. And maybe there’s a voice inside that says, You have to choose. That if you slow down for family, your business will suffer. That if you rest, you’ll lose your edge. That if you show up fully in one space, another will slip. But what if the question isn’t, Can I have it all? What if the real question is: What does “all” even mean to me now? And am I willing to shape my business and life around that even if it looks different from the norm? So, Founder… Do You Still Believe You Can Have It All?Not the hustle version. Not the version that costs your peace. But the version where you’re present in the life you’ve built. The one where you stop splitting yourself in two just to keep the plates spinning. If the answer is yes, then I’m walking this with you. One aligned step at a time.
