A short monologue from Ashley Alderson reflecting on running a business sustainably and defining personal priorities. The speaker emphasizes that everyone must decide "what matters" to them, acknowledges running low on energy after eight years, and discusses setting boundaries so one need not be "at every beck and call" all the time.
We're all human, and we get so wrapped up in things that we can't control and that are just outside of what matters. And everybody has their own what matters to me. And you just need to figure that out. And how do you want your business to be? And how do you want your life to be? Do you want to be? I mean, I've been running eight years, almost running, like, out of energy. I mean, I have so much. I don't know where it comes from. I really don't. But it doesn't mean I have to be at every beck and call of everything 24, 7.
