Starting a business is one thing. Growing one, without burning out, is something else entirely.
In this solo episode of Creating the Curve, Anna Bravington reflects on what happens after the initial rush of launching: when you hit that awkward in-between stage where the work piles up, the fun fades, and you're suddenly expected to be a marketer, salesperson, ops manager, and accountant... all at once.
This episode is about that exact moment, the transition from technician to leader, and how to get through it without falling into what Anna calls the Bog of Eternal Stench (yes, there’s a Labyrinth reference).
She shares:
Why support and community matter more than ever in the growth phase
The two hires most founders should make first, and why
How to upskill just enough in marketing, sales, and finance to move forward
What to do when your business starts feeling like a burden
How to keep sight of your goals (and build a business that still feels like you)
Whether you want to build a lifestyle business or scale up and hire a team, this episode will help you figure out the next right step and remind you that you don’t have to build it alone.
