You didn’t start your business to feel trapped by it. But somewhere along the way, the passion that once lit you up got buried under the endless to-do lists, late nights, and the pressure to keep up with everyone else’s version of success.
It’s time to change that.
Welcome to @The Simplified CEO – the podcast for ambitious, service-based business owners who are ready to strip away the overwhelm, simplify their strategy, and build a business (and life) they actually love again.
Hosted by Claire Bartlett, award-winning business mentor, speaker, and creator of the R.E.S.E.T.™ Framework, each episode feels like a heart-to-heart with a friend who gets it. Expect raw truth, simple strategies, and the mindset shifts that will help you reignite your energy, find clarity, and grow a profitable business without burning out.
If you’re tired of overcomplicating your growth, second-guessing every decision, and wondering if you should just “burn it all down,” this is your safe space to reset, rebuild, and rise.
So get comfy, hit follow, grab your coffee, and let’s simplify your way to success.

The Top 5 Areas That Matter Most When Starting & Scaling A Business 060
If I had to start my business all over again today, what would I do differently? The truth is - I’ve lived it. After running my first business for over a decade, I relaunched at the start of this year with a brand-new coaching business. And what I did this time around looked completely different from how I started the first time.
In this episode of The Simplified CEO, I break down the 5 key areas that matter most when starting and growing a business - and how I approached each one differently this time around. From setting a crystal-clear vision to stepping fully into the CEO mindset, I share the lessons I wish I knew sooner and the practical steps you can put in place right now.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Why having a clear vision and mission changes everything from day one
The mindset shifts that turn you from “self-employed” into CEO mode
How to position your brand and marketing so it speaks to what people want (not just what they need)
Why networking is still gold in 2025, and how to use it to sharpen your message
The simple financial habits that keep your business sustainable and scalable
If you’re just starting out or considering a relaunch, this episode will help you shortcut the mistakes, avoid the overwhelm, and focus your energy where it matters most.
