In this episode of Uncensored Entrepreneurs, the hosts sit down with Donna Dube, certified Director of Operations, business growth strategist, and host of The CEO Amplify Podcast. Donna shares how entrepreneurs can escape the hustle-and-grind cycle, reclaim their time, and step into the role of confident, strategic CEO without burning out.

From redefining priorities to building systems that sustain growth, Donna reveals how to shift from reactive busyness to intentional leadership. This episode dives into the mindset, systems, and habits that allow business owners to scale with sanity and lead with purpose, without sacrificing their well-being or relationships.

Whether you’re stretched thin as a solopreneur or managing a growing team, this conversation will help you realign your energy, automate smarter, and finally work on your business instead of in it.

Key Takeaways

• Shift from Hustle to Strategy: Running faster isn’t the answer, building structure is. Focus on intentional planning, not constant action.

• Lead Like a CEO: Protect your time and energy. Treat your small business like a company you want to grow, not a job you have to maintain.

• Automate with Intention: Small automations compound into hours saved each week, start with simple, repeatable tasks and build from there.

• Delegate for Growth: Training your team is short-term pain for long-term gain. Free your plate to focus on high-value work.

• Audit Your Time: A simple time audit can uncover hidden inefficiencies and reveal what to stop, delegate, or automate immediately.

• Redefine Productivity: Busyness doesn’t equal progress, clarity, systems, and alignment do.
