She Chased 7-Figure Success - Until Her Body and Business Both Broke Down with Laura Brandenburg

She tried hustling her way to success – until a hurricane, an ICU stay, and a failing launch forced her to rethink everything.Laura Brandenburg was chasing every online business goal: bigger launches, bigger teams, bigger revenue. But in 2018, life said, “Girl, sit down.” First came Hurricane Florence. Then, a mystery illness that landed Laura in the ICU – days after a business launch had flopped. It was a cosmic smackdown, and it worked. Laura started asking herself the questions most entrepreneurs avoid: What do I actually want? And what if scaling back could be the best growth strategy? In this conversation, we talk about simplifying to scale, hiring with intention, and redefining hustle on your own damn terms. Spoiler: it looks a lot like the happy hustle – less crying on the stairs, more clarity and joy.Quote:“I spent years chasing goals that weren’t even mine.
