The Bridge Between Your Business and Success

In a previous post, we talked about having discipline, scheduling your days, being organized, and having a routine as important keys to the success of your new business. But, what if you’re a more seasoned entrepreneur who is already doing all of that? As your company is seeing more and more success, it can become harder to stay on top of everything. If you’ve realized you need to try something new to ensure your customers stay happy- you’ve come to the right place. We’ve been there! In this post, we’ll share tips and resources to help you stay disciplined when your business is a little further down the road to success.

Most everyone knows the old saying “it’s lonely at the top”. If you’ve been at the top, you absolutely know how true that is. When you are the person in charge, the weight of responsibility can be very heavy- even overwhelming, and often isolating. As Jocko Willink, co-author of the New York Times best seller, Extreme Ownership, puts it:

“Leaders must own everything in their world. There is no one else to blame”

Chances are, if you’ve got an entrepreneurial spirit and a creative mind- you’ve experienced “Shiny Object Syndrome” (SOS) at some point in your career. This phenomenon isn’t a diagnosable condition, but rather a business term used to define a tendency to be easily distracted by new ideas.

Or, how dogs can be easily distracted by one of those pesky squirrels.

Many entrepreneurs feel like they are in a rut or overwhelmed with their business but are unsure of which expert to turn to. In this episode we discuss problems that are common in the entrepreneur lifestyle, and how a therapist may be able to help resolve those issues.

There is a popular belief about remote jobs being limited to certain lines of work. It is true that construction workers are not very likely to work remotely, for instance. But there are many other industries that sometimes we don’t consider compatible with remote work that actually do function pretty well in this modality.

When that happens it might seem like everyone is more successful than you. And for a lot of really good reasons.
