I’m thrilled to sit down with Shaheen Maslow, the sharp and straight-shooting founder of Versa Business Systems, on the Versa Business Tips Podcast. There’s something electric about connecting with someone who lives and breathes business strategy the way I do—and our conversation doesn’t disappoint.

We dive headfirst into the heart of entrepreneurship—the kind that trades in hustle culture for real, sustainable growth. I share how Your Biz Rules helps business owners go from grinding in the trenches to scaling in a way that protects their sanity, purpose, and lifestyle. Whether you’re a startup looking to replace a six-figure job, a seasoned owner wondering where all the “freedom” went, or you've hit seven figures and still feel stuck—this episode is your permission to rethink how you're growing.

We get honest about:

• Why seven figures isn’t a magic fix (and what to do instead)
• The danger of micromanaging and missing your CEO seat
• How to know if your intuition is backed by truth or wishful thinking
• What happens when you wait too long to get help
• Why your best opportunity might be hiding in the data you’ve ignored

This one’s full of real talk, laughs, and a powerful reminder: not taking action is a choice—and it’s often the most expensive one.

If you’re working hard to grow, improve, and create a business that truly works for you, you’re in the right place. 

Big changes start with small steps.

This episode is designed to inspire action, provide clarity, and remind you that you’re not alone on this journey.
