Escape the Busy Trap and Take Back Control of Your Business

24 June

Show Notes

If your business is running your life, this is how you take it back.

Mark and Caroline aren’t just co-hosts — they’re a real-life couple who’ve spent 15 years building a business together without losing their minds (or each other). In this episode, they unpack one small, ridiculously effective strategy that could give you back your time, your focus, and even your evenings.

They call it “bunkering.”

We’re talking about turning distraction into discipline, chaos into clarity, and busywork into bold business moves. Whether you run your business solo or with your significant other, these insights will change how you think about time forever.

You’ll learn how to bunker like a boss, from when to do it, where to do it, and what to do while you’re in it.

If your business is starting to feel like it owns you, this might just be your first step back to freedom.

In this episode, Mark explores:

Redefining productivity in terms of outcomes, not effort, and shifting focus from urgency to impact (03:26)
How to leverage your natural rhythms to tackle high-value work (07:40)
How to create a real bunker for deep work that actually moves the needle (11:29)
How setting boundaries around your time creates better results (16:08)

Treating time as the scalable asset it actually is (20:43)
