Advertise on podcast: Doula Tips and T**s with Kaely Harrod

In today’s episode Kaely shares three growth traps to avoid if you want a doula business that is sustainable, strategic, and actually growing. This episode focuses on stepping out of reactive mode, protecting CEO time, and making intentional changes instead of waiting for the “perfect” moment. While doula business is not a one-size fits all situation, these are ideas you’ll resonate with!  Quote from the show: “Today we're going to talk about three things that I am not doing to grow my business and that I think you should also not do to grow your business. I think this is the perfect time to kind of get back on track with your everyday and your business, like what is your general mode of operation. The thing that I don't think it's the right time for is to do things that aren't strategically helping your business. For me, one thing I'm not going to do in this next quarter is create a new offer. If your business feels like something needs to change, something needs to grow, there needs to be more revenue, there needs to be more bandwidth, there needs to be more buffer, it's almost never by creating a brand new offer you've never had. That is not a fast growth situation. It usually comes from better intentional strategy around one of the offers you already have.” CONNECT with Kaely on TikTok or  Instagram https://www.tiktok.com/@doulacoach https://www.instagram.com/Harroddoula/ Subscribe to the Newsletter so you never miss an announcement here: https://www.harroddoulaservices.com/newsletter If you like this episode, don't forget to share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @harroddoula Doula Tips and T**s is produced by Kaely Harrod of Harrod Doula Services It is sponsored by The Doula Biz Blueprint Self-Paced Class for Doulas Launching Successful and Sustainable Businesses!  Music by Madirfan: Hidden Place on Pixabay Support the show

This episode walks through a practical way to build a 90-day plan by starting with your real life, your most urgent business need, and your current stage in business. Kaely explains why the best plan is not a generic one, but one shaped by your season, your cash flow, and what is actually feasible in the next three months. She shares examples from her own doula business, coaching, and family schedule to show how to decide whether you should maintain, grow, or pause new projects.
