Burnout, Budgets, & Blueprints

In this week’s episode of the UFD Podcast, I’m joined by Katie Harvey co-director at Haines Homes and all-around powerhouse.

Katie’s not only been smashing it with her rent-to-rent HMO portfolio in Oxford, but she’s also launched a brand new business called Breathe, focused on helping entrepreneurs avoid burnout and actually enjoy the life they’re building.

Katie and I dive deep into how she turned her business around by ditching the "scale-at-all-costs" mentality and zeroing in on profit margins.

We dive into the power of financial planning, specifically how using a 12-month forecast helped Katie feel confident enough to leave her job as an electrical contractor, fully commit to entrepreneurship and create a life she’s actually excited to live.

Katie also introduces her new venture, Breathe, which is all about helping other entrepreneurs avoid burnout through intentional lifestyle design. It’s a refreshing take on business - one that puts wellbeing and balance at the forefront.

We chat about what it’s like running a business with family, including the dynamics, the boundaries, and the benefits of working with people you trust.

And finally, we explore how finding your “sweet spot” in business - that place where things run well without being overwhelming - can make all the difference.

It’s a proper behind-the-scenes look at how we’ve made big shifts, both in the business and in life - and why it’s paying off in more ways than one.

Give it a listen, and as always, let me know your biggest takeaways.
