Welcome to ‘The Guru Code Podcast’. It’s been a while since we did one of these, so it’s nice to be back. And be back with a topic that I know you will resonate with. 

Today we’re talking about the challenges small business owners face and how they can manage overwhelm.

Overwhelm was the front-runner in a poll I took on one of my social media platforms, so I am confident that this podcast will be valuable.

Even if you are in a good place currently, you know how business goes, it ebbs and flows doesn’t it….so to have something in your back pocket will be reassuring. And even better if we can put a strategy that circumnavigates the need for it to arise. 

If we don’t know each other yet, my name is Liz Smith. Proud owner, and founder of The Guru Company where my focus is on growing you, resourcing you, discovering new personal performance levels, and becoming the powerful resilient business leaders your business deserves. 

One of the biggest challenges of being a small business owner is managing those feelings of overwhelm. Drowning in demands, responsibility, and your own expectations. 

Small business ownership is a skill. 

It can be difficult to juggle all of the different tasks and continuously learn new skills. 

It can be easy to get bogged down and feel like you don’t have enough time to do everything. In fact, it can get to the point where you don’t feel you have time to do ANYTHING. This is where you are almost in paralysis and decision-making is like being asked to figure out the LinkedIn algorithm! 

That is a bit tongue-in-cheek but I’m right. You can find yourself making the simple complex and tying yourself in knots, becoming very emotional with tears of frustration not to mention crossed words and sleepless nights.

Do I sound like I’ve been there and have the T-shirt and the dancing shoes?

 I love how some of my fellow Coaches believe that ‘overwhelm’ is all part of small business ownership. Im not sure I can fully support this belief. 

I am absolutely convinced that anyone who is growing their business and leveraging their performance will be consistently in the arena of uncertainty. Why? Because that’s where growth is, on the other side of your comfort zone. 

So my thoughts and suggestion to you in the very first instance are to be very clear about what you are experiencing.

If it is growth and the exploration of new possibilities, let’s celebrate your adventure. However, if things have stalled and you are feeling buried. Then I invite you to consider these suggestions.

Now if you have found this helpful I have so much more to offer you in The Business Owners Master Mind Retreat. This is where you, me, and like-minded business owners get to master these topics and many others. I want you to leave the retreat with new powerful, personal, and resilient mindsets. 

If 2023 is your year for growth and transformation join me in October, all the details are on my website. Or send me an email, and jump on a call to see if it’s the right thing for you.

Thank you for joining me and I look forward to speaking with you.
