The More Than Capable Mompreneur Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Shannon Baker | Business Systems Strategist
I’m The Shannon Baker, a business systems strategist and busy mompreneur working a day job while taking care of my family and building a side gig.

What if the very thing you’re calling “freedom” is actually fueling your burnout?
We’ve been sold the idea that flexibility equals freedom. That being able to work from anywhere, say yes to everything, and keep our business in our head is somehow empowering. But let’s be honest, it’s exhausting.
Today I’m flipping the narrative! Because the truth is, real freedom doesn’t come from flying by the seat of your pants. It comes from structure. It comes from systems that give you your time, your energy, and your life back.
If you’re overwhelmed, on the verge of burnout, or just tired of feeling behind all the time, this is the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed.
Here’s what we’re going to expand on today:
2:09: The moment I realized my business was draining me and how that changed everything
4:57: Why messy operations quietly kill your confidence, clarity, and capacity
6:45: How building systems is a protective response, not a restrictive one
9:27: Simple ways to start systemizing today without getting overwhelmed
10:13: The role of the Back Office POWER Checklist in helping you determine where to start making changes
11:18: A quick win challenge to help you start building your first system
Resources Mentioned:
📋 Grab the Biz Ops Checklist, a fillable PDF, to quickly audit your back office, spot inefficiencies, and create a smoother, more efficient operation!
🔧 Ready to simplify your back office and finally feel in control?

Summer isn’t a threat to your business! It’s actually the perfect season to reclaim your freedom.
You don’t need to keep grinding through the heat or watch your progress slip away while you’re trying to unplug and spend time with your family. In this episode, I’m challenging the idea that your business has to run your life and showing you exactly how to flip that script.
This is just what you need! Whether you’re just getting started or you’re a six-figure entrepreneur who’s tired of playing catch-up and ready to run your business on your own terms.
If you’ve built something you’re proud of but still feel like you’re stuck in the day-to-day, this episode will help you see that you don’t need to choose between growth and freedom. Because systems and routines aren’t about restriction. They’re the foundation for your peace of mind and the key to creating the impact you’re meant to make.
So if you’re craving time to breathe, to be present with your family, and to live your legacy instead of just building it, this episode is your permission slip and your roadmap to get started. No jargon. No fluff. Just straight talk and practical steps you can start using today to streamline your business without burning out.

Still grinding 10-hour days and wondering why your business still feels chaotic behind the scenes?
Here’s the truth no one wants to admit, hustling harder isn’t the path to sustainable success. It’s the roadblock! And if you’re not intentional about how you use your time, your systems (or lack of them) will keep you stuck in a cycle of burnout, even if your revenue looks great on paper.
If you’re running a six-figure business but still feel like you’re the one holding it together with sticky notes and sheer willpower, this episode is for you.
You didn’t build your business just to be exhausted. You built it for freedom. It’s time to protect your time, create space to lead, and stop sacrificing your sanity to hit your next milestone.
This is a real-talk conversation about why doing more isn’t helping—and what to focus on instead if you want your business to grow without draining you. Inside, I’m sharing:
1:48 - The critical mindset shift that helped me prep for multiple events, a family celebration, and a major summit without dropping the ball
3:15 - The importance of pausing and reflecting on your accomplishments
6:04 - How a Legacy In Motion Session gave a growing entrepreneur the clarity, structure, and custom 90-day plan she needed to finally get her systems working for her
10:34 - A quick exercise to help you identify what’s wasting your time and what you can stop doing this week to focus on what matters most
13:47 - The myth of productivity that’s keeping six-figure CEOs overwhelmed and overbooked
17:55 - Simple shifts you can make to protect your time and reclaim your role as the leader

You’ll get a breakdown of my POWER in Motion framework and how to use it to stop overdelivering, start delegating to automation, and finally protect your peace like the CEO you actually are.
Tune in if you’re ready to take back control of your time and set clear boundaries.

Do you find it difficult to know which things you need to prioritize in your business?

Today I’m going to share three questions you need to answer to help you set your goals and stay focused on them. The answers to these questions are the starting point and foundation of every action plan I’ve created after completing a back office assessment.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then be sure to make the time to answer them today! The answers are key to how you operate your business as a team of one. And If you start building a team and you’re not super clear on the answers, that’s a recipe for disaster.

Are you ready to step into the new year with a clear vision and a plan for more success?
I believe before you can move forward, you have to look back at what you’ve accomplished or didn’t for that matter, so that you can plan to build on that momentum and achieve the success you desire.

So let’s talk about how you can create a reasonable plan that builds on the momentum you already have and use it to plan for more success in the new year.

Email automation is one of the easiest methods you can use to nurture relationships that bring about business growth. But getting this set-up can be overwhelming because there are a number of platforms to choose from, not to mention writing the content may not be your strong suit.
Some common questions you may have are: What is an email sequence? How many emails should it include? What should I include in the emails? How can I set up automation in ConvertKit to save time?
Well you’re going to get the answer to these questions and more in my chat with Bev Feldman! She shares tips to help you make the connection with your subscribers AUTOMATICALLY, she talks about how a nurture sequence can keep your digital product front of mind, and more.

Personalized marketing is what is going to really boost your business growth and your revenue. One of the best ways to nurture relationships that bring about this type of growth is effective email marketing. One lesson all of us have learned by now is that you need to rely on more than social media because you don’t own those accounts and the platforms can go down at any time.
But you own your email list! So it’s time to ditch the boring PDFs, guides and worksheets and start using quizzes! Quizzes are the low hanging fruit of marketing that is fun, engaging and intuitive. They help people feel seen and heard because you’re serving them better. But is it the right marketing tool for your business? How do you even create one?
You’ll get the answers to those questions and more during this chat with Linda Sidhu, the quiz queen!

When creating a lifestyle business it can be easy to lose sight of true success. Success is different for every one of us. So you need to define your own success and focus on that no matter what everyone else seems to be achieving around you.
That’s why in this episode I share the process I go through to identify how I measure success and what I do to keep it front of mind. This is really important to do as you plan for the last quarter of the year and start to think strategically about the next year. That plan needs to be based on what you want your lifestyle business to do for YOU.

Little things leave a lasting impression! So your relationships with your client shouldn’t come to a screeching halt because they aren’t going to be paying you anymore.
Client off-boarding is the final step in building that oh so meaningful client relationship that will keep them coming back to you time and again with more projects. Not to mention, you want to get feedback and a testimonial from your clients after they’ve worked with you.
An off-boarding process will help you do that and more! And it’s a great way to nurture the relationship with your clients as your services come to an end and even into the future.

Your usual routine has been thrown into disarray because the kids are doing distance learning at home or have a hybrid schedule. While you may still rise at six to start your morning routine, you’ve been forced into a new routine that includes the kids more than you would like which is increasing your stress levels and reducing your productivity.
Productivity doesn’t mean you should cram more into every hour of your day. Neither does it mean you need to keep mult-itasking to increase your productivity. There is a much simpler solution and it starts with you looking out the window at creation!
I’m chatting with Sandi Schwartz today, and she’s going to share some tips to help you build nature habits into your daily routine which will help everyone in the family feel healthier, calmer and happier.

Contrary to what many people say, lack of motivation doesn’t always come from a lack of vision, goals or a plan. Some weeks you’re crushing your goals. Other weeks...not so much. This is the reality of being a busy mompreneur.
There may be things in your life that have changed which have thrown things out of alignment and you can’t control those things. But you can control how you deal with feeling unmotivated so you can renew your motivation, maintain your sanity and refocus on your goals.

I went LIVE inside of The More Than Capable Mompreneur Facebook Group today and shared the details of the black coffee conversation I had with myself.
I asked myself three soul-searching questions and made an amazing discovery which led to a reminder I will keep in front of me to help me be more productive from this point moving forward.

“Why do I get so many emails every day?”
“Where do I even start cleaning up all of these emails in my inbox?”

The average mom only gets about 67 minutes to herself every day and the rest of the day is dedicated to other people. Taking care of yourself isn't a luxury! To be a good mom you have to be in great shape mentally, physically and emotionally. But sometimes we ignore our needs because we feel like we’re being selfish.
So you have to make a conscious effort to practice self-care every day, even if you only use 30 of that 67 minutes. I’m sharing four simple strategies to help you do that in this episode and you can implement them in 30 minutes or less.

About three years ago I found I was “busy” every day but at the end of the day, I felt like nothing was accomplished and was always wondering where my day went. So I knew I needed to make some changes to take control of my time so I could see that I was being productive.
That’s when I decided to try the time blocking method. It has been a game changer!
Time blocking forces you to limit the number of tasks and determine how long it will take to complete it to place it on your schedule and get it done. I work a part-time job outside of my home, volunteer, cook meals for my family 3-4 days a week and work on my business and this is the only way I can make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
In episode 4 I am spilling the tea!
Are you ready to lose the never-ending to-do list and take control of your time?
Let me show you the solution I have found to balance the chaos and schedule my time like the boss babe that I know I am!

Your time is limited but that doesn’t mean you can’t successfully grow your side gig without being overwhelmed. That just means you need to get some systems in place to save you time.
I am very passionate about helping mompreneurs with service-based businesses use the mom cracks of time to create a more intentional business that supports their lifestyle.
Business systems are the foundation that a successful business is built on. So be sure to grab a copy of the checklist I mention in this episode to help you do a quick inventory of your back office.

You know that you need to focus on revenue generating activities to grow your income but you're already overwhelmed by “all the things” it takes to work a 9 to 5, care for a family and grow a business. So you need to implement some systems to open up some time in your busy schedule.
Business systems are something that you either love or hate...but in either case they’re a necessity if you want to end the chaos, be more consistent and grow your business.
In this episode I talk about the three C’s of streamlining which you need to stabilize your business growth. This is the foundation of the framework that I use to help my clients determine what systems they need to focus on first and I hope it helps you do the same!
