OVERCOMING FEAR, HESITATION AND
OVERWHELM FOR NEW BUSINESS OWNERS
If you are like most
businesses owners, you
will have gone through
a lot of overwhelm in
your business
May be lingering around when
you feel stressed
Maybe you experience
it regularly and for
good reason
Hundreds of things are pulling at
you at one time
You’ve got so much to do, as a small business owner
Marketing Production
Calls to return
Employees to
watch and
advise
It can seem never ending sometimes!
Most of the small
business owners that I
talk to keep almost all
of these things in their
head
I ask them
where their
business plan is
It’s in their
head
I ask where
their employee
training manual
is
It’s in their
head
Even a lot of their to-dos are
in their head
Here’s one simple and
powerful way to get
out of overwhelm
Write it all down and get it out of
your head
Your overwhelm is in your head because most of how
you run your business is in your head
Start writing it
down and you will
start having less
overwhelm
Start taking a little
time each day to
document your
business processes
Make a list today of the
processes that you
haven’t recorded.
Cover marketing,
production, training,
accounting, etc
Take one of these areas and
document it in detail this week
Within a fairly short period of time, you should have at
least the basics of
Marketing
procedures
Production
procedures
Client follow up
procedures
Employee training
procedures in
place
Get some free
headspace and write it
down!
