375 | 6 Kids, 6 Figures, 20 Hours—How She Does It (with Gillian Perkins)

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Work smarter, not harder,” but what if you could actually live that out—and scale your business down to just 20 hours a week without losing income or impact?

In this episode, I’m joined by Gillian Perkins—CEO of Startup Society, host of the Work Less, Earn More podcast, and mom of six—who’s built a six-figure business while homeschooling her kids and leading a team… all in less than 20 hours a week.

Gillian shares her journey from solopreneur to CEO and the systems that helped her scale up her business without scaling up her workload. We talk about when to hire (and when not to), why you should get results manually before automating, and how partial automation can save massive time while keeping a personal, human touch. She also shares how to identify your “prime mover”—the 20% of work that drives 80% of your results—and let go of the rest.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or stuck doing “all the things,” this conversation will show you how to simplify, systematize, and steward your time like a true CEO.

P.S. If you’re tired of feeling busy but not seeing results, I created a private audio experience called Busy to CEO: The Time Scaling Experience.

I’ll walk you through why traditional time management is actually keeping you stuck—and how to replace it with what works to start getting real results from the time you already have.
