The Power of Presence | Creating Time with Ellen Williams

What if the secret to building a successful business isn't doing more—but being more present? As entrepreneurs, we wear "busy" like a badge of honor. We fill every moment, chase every opportunity, and convince ourselves that constant motion equals progress. But what if this approach is actually holding us back? Ellen Williams, author of Creating Time: The Key to Productivity and Peace, challenges the hustle culture narrative and reveals why presence—not productivity—is the real competitive advantage for founders. Ellen shares her journey from a verbally abusive marriage to building a thriving consulting practice, and how learning to be present transformed not just her business, but her entire life. We explore why founders resist rest, how identity shapes our relationship with work, and practical ways to create time (not just manage it) so you can build the business and life you actually want.
