Can your business run for a year without you? In today’s episode, I sit down with Georgia Thomas, a multi-business owner and CEO of e!studios, who shares her incredible journey of building a thriving agency while balancing motherhood. Georgia shares how she managed to step away from her business for a full year and let it operate without her. 

With a background in law and a passion for helping founders optimize their businesses, Georgia knew that scaling meant letting go of control and implementing powerful systems. She’s built a team that allows her to be both an involved mom and a successful CEO.  

She shares everything from time blocking and delegating to hiring the right people and creating an empowering company culture. If you are a founder struggling to find the balance between business success and personal fulfillment, this one is for you!
