Andie interviews Heather Bax of Small Business Rodeo, who helps small business owners “wrangle their work and find their flow” through strategy and systems so they can reduce overwhelm and run confident experiments. Heather shares a circuitous path—dog training, web development, and opening a North Carolina gift shop in 2019 that survived COVID through an online store, gift certificate sales, and hiring staff—amid her father’s sudden death and ongoing stress. She reflects on grief as clarifying and creativity-opening, the myth of “arriving” after burnout, and critiques one-size-fits-all online business coaching. Her key advice is that clarity is a prerequisite for discernment. Heather directs listeners to smallbusiness.rodeo and a free tech stack guide.

Heather is a gentle and human-centered small business advisor and strategist at Small Business Rodeo (https://smallbusiness.rodeo). Her work centers on helping folks design their businesses to support their own humanity and wrangle their work into systems that match how their unique brains work. If you're tired of throwing spaghetti and ready to bring some strategy and systems to your own business, Heather can help!
