A true lifestyle business is one you design on purpose. It supports the life you want, keeps growing, and lets you step away knowing everything will be okay. Getting there starts with what you stop doing.
In this episode, I sit down with Christie Wengranowski, founder of Flying Horse Design Studio. Christie has owned her business for more than 20 years and is growing while doing less.
She takes us back to a season of 18-hour days, when she carried her desktop iMac home every night. Then she walks through how she designed the business she runs today, starting with the first thing she stopped doing.
You’ll hear how to design a lifestyle business that supports your team’s lives as well as your own, why the hardest shift is about identity as you move from doing the creative work to leading the people who do it, and what stepping away can reveal about the systems you thought you had in place.
At the end of the day, you get to decide what enough is. This conversation might be the nudge you need to define yours.

Christie also talks about what it’s like to have a community of agency owners who’ve been through it and share what worked. If you’re ready to stop figuring it out alone, join us at agencytogether.com.
