Check Out Ral's Mastermind Program!

We’re chatting with our friend Ral West, a powerhouse entrepreneur who’s all about building a business that serves your life, not the other way around. Ral’s got 40+ years of experience, has built and sold a wildly successful company, and now teaches business owners how to get their time, health, and freedom back.

Let’s just say… she’s walking the walk — 52 podcast interviews, a course, a mastermind, and a month-long vacation on the books. 👏🏽

In This Episode, We Cover:

1. The real cost of letting your business run your life

2. How to systematize, automate, and delegate (without micromanaging!)

3. The art of effective delegation — and why most people are doing it wrong

4. Why your business should support your dream life, not suck it dry

5. The 6 foundational principles RA teaches to help business owners scale and enjoy life

6. The connection between financial clarity, boundaries, and building a sustainable business

“If it doesn’t fit into my dream life vision — I don’t do it.” – Ral West 🙌🏾

We also had a total alignment moment around budgeting! Because y’all know we’re big fans of automation, delegation, and systems — whether you’re managing your business or your money. 💸

So if you’re out here trying to do it all yourself (in your business, at home, or with your money), this is your sign to pause, reset, and start building systems that actually support your life.
