Marcey is back on the mic after a short break. When six people in one week tell you to relaunch, you listen.   This episode drops on her 12th business anniversary. She’s sharing 12 lessons earned (not just learned), smartest decisions, and big wins that shaped her life and business. From going LinkedIn-only to dropping the revenue chase, these insights will help you rethink what growth and success really mean, beyond the vanity metrics and endless hustle.   Key Takeaways • You don’t need to be everywhere online — LinkedIn-only can win big. • Ask the people who failed before you launch anything big. • "Slow to hire, quick to fire" — but don’t swing too far the other way. • Trust first when building your core team. • Running a business can be lonely — find your circle. • Hire for character first, skills second (train the rest). • Bring in experts who know more than you (and listen to them). • Masterminds aren’t optional; they’re survival kits. • Invest in a virtual studio or setup that levels up your presence. • Let go of the "stable salary" story — design work your way. • You don’t need to chase revenue every year; define success on your terms. • Lifestyle and happiness > constant growth at all costs.   Marcey Rader is a keynote speaker, productivity consultant, and author at RaderCo, where focus, boundaries, and well-being aren’t buzzwords — they’re the way to work.
