Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋
I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪
...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!
It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.
I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years to reach the elusive "6-figures per year" goal.
But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son in 2018, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.
So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!
For the past 5+ years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?
For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.
She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.
Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.
She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.
What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.
Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

Overcoming Overwhelm as an Entrepreneur with Tara Geraghty
"I don't care how great your time management is... all of us struggle with overwhelm from time to time." - Tara Geraghty
In a recent episode of The Simple Business Show™, host Steph Blake tackled a topic close to many entrepreneurs' hearts—overcoming overwhelm.
Joined by Tara Geraghty, a resiliency expert and founder of the Hey Girl, You Can community, the conversation delved into practical strategies for managing the inevitable stress that comes with entrepreneurship.
Understanding Overwhelm: A Common Challenge
Entrepreneurs often face overwhelming challenges while juggling numerous responsibilities. Tara brings a wealth of personal experience, including raising a daughter who is a childhood cancer survivor, making her insights particularly powerful.
Tara emphasizes that feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean there’s something inherently wrong with you—it’s a natural part of stepping out of your comfort zone to grow.
The Illusion of Timing and Busyness
Tara and Steph discussed a common misconception many aspiring entrepreneurs face: waiting for the "perfect time" to start.
The reality is, life will always be busy. Tara, who started her first business while in college despite a hectic schedule, argues that busyness is a choice and often indicates a full, active life rather than a barrier.
Shift Your Perspective on Overwhelm
Overcoming overwhelm starts with shifting your perspective. Rather than seeing overwhelm as a negative, Tara suggests reframing it as a sign of growth.
Learn to view it as stepping into your "God zone," where you rely on faith and resilience more than ever. It's a zone where miracles happen, and real development occurs.
Prioritization: The Key to Managing Overwhelm
At the heart of avoiding overwhelm is effective prioritization. Steph shared how evaluating tasks critically helped one of her clients move from feeling overwhelmed to focused.
Tara emphasized the importance of setting firm, intentional boundaries and using her "24-hour rule" before committing to any new opportunity. This rule offers a buffer to ensure that every new task aligns with her long-term goals.
Family First: Aligning Business Goals with Personal Values
A significant theme was how personal values, particularly family priorities, play into business decisions. Both hosts stressed that success isn't solely financial; it's also about maintaining relationships with loved ones.
They highlighted the societal pressure on women to be 'superwomen' and the importance of asking for help and setting boundaries to balance work and family life.
Empowering Future Generations
Tara shared how involving her daughter in her business taught her essential life skills. The conversation touched on the balance of fostering independence in children while managing parental responsibilities.
The takeaway is that children can learn resilience and work ethic by example, watching their parents navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship.
