But in this episode of the It's About Time podcast, I had the chance to chat with Tanya Dalton, author of "The Joy Of Missing Out."

Decision Time: How Our Toughest Choices Become Our Best Choices featuring Rachel Greiman
Sometimes, the best things happen when you take an unexpected step back from the daily hustle of running a business. Rachel Greiman discovered this when COVID-19 shut down daycares, and she was forced to delegate more of her copywriting projects to other writers. Though this led to a pay cut (at first) as she took on less client work herself, it ultimately led her to triple her business revenue the next year. Listen to this podcast episode to hear how making tough decisions might just be the BEST decision in the long run.
