This week, I caught up with Laura Roeder, a dear friend who also happens to be an exceptionally skilled businesswoman. She is the Founder of a coaching software business called Paperbell.

We chat about handling envy, finding contentment, and happiness in our lives, both at work and personally. Laura's approach involves skipping traditional meetings, relying on freelancers, and keeping everyone on the same page with informal company updates.

Laura's a master at dodging work in the best possible way—she's smart and super efficient with her time. Following her lead, you might just discover that a day's workload can be knocked out in just 2 hours.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

When’s the right time to sell a business and do you actually need to if running the business is so damn easy.
The differences between selling SaaS products and courses.
Learn how to manage company updates and maintain alignment without traditional meetings.

Enjoy these 3 things plus more ear nuggets along the way.

Check out Laura’s website and her coaching software company Paperbell.
