299: Ellie's Sales Are Great; How Does She Make More Profit?

Author: Susan Bradley: E-commerce Expert December 23, 2025 Duration: 29:12

Are you still spending your time on something you told yourself you'd stop doing a year ago?

That's where Ellie Lum found herself. She runs Klum House, a multi six-figure business with a growing audience and a solid product line. But now she's looking to create more profit—and more space—so she can focus on the work she loves.

In this live coaching call, we walk through how to step out of production mode and into the next phase of business. If you're still stuck doing the parts of the job that wear you down (even after all your progress!), this conversation will hit home.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why "just doing that one task" is keeping you from thinking clearly about what you actually want your work days to look like

    The hidden downside of staying in labor roles as the owner (even when they feel easy or efficient)

  • The real barriers to creating freedom in your schedule—and how to move past them

  • What makes you a risky bottleneck (and how to fix it)

  • How to identify which labor to delegate and structure it so your margins stay intact
