Doing “more” is the default setting for most women business owners. We strive for more revenue. More clients. More milestones. More targets.

But what happens when we stop reaching for the moving target of “more”… and instead strive for “enough”?

What happens if we prioritise balance, freedom, and fulfilment – and set our business goals to accomplish those standards?

In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, we’re talking about how you can plan your 2026 not just around ‘making things happen’ and productivity, but how you can actually use your business strategy to create more freedom in your life.

Insights You’ll Walk Away With:

  • The true difference between striving for more and striving for enough (and the results each brings)
  • How you can reframe ambition to be fuel that drives you forward, rather than a pressure that drains you.
  • The unspoken influences that create the pressure to constantly do “more” (and where they come from!)
  • Simple ways to plan your year around the goals that actually matter (and focus on tasks that actually move the needle)
  • The secret strategies I use to ensure I leave time for planning and strategy throughout my year
  • The hard questions to ask yourself if you find you’re running towards a goal that isn’t yours – and how to change course

Journalling Prompts from This Episode: 

  1. What do I want to feel more of next year?
  2. What does spaciousness look like in my work and life?
  3. Where can I do less… but go deeper?
  4. What does my ideal day, week, and month really look like?
  5. What would a truly good year (one that honours my values) look like?
  6. And… what does “enough” look like for me right now?

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
