Tell me if this sounds familiar:

  • A machine breaks or a customer gets angry โ€“ you freak out.
  • An idea sparks, but you donโ€™t know how to start.
  • A new trend or opportunity pops up โ€“ you overthink or rush in and back out.
  • A campaign fails โ€“ you repeat actions despite the evidence.

This is ambiguity โ€“ a natural part of starting and growing a business. Often, you’ll have to:

  • Make decisions with incomplete data.
  • Decipher mixed signals.
  • Sift through conflicting information.
  • Tackle complex problems.

If youโ€™re not careful, it can leave you feeling lost and disoriented.

However, embracing this ambiguity is crucial for growth, innovation, and, well โ€“ just existing in today’s world. 

Navigating Ambiguity means effectively managing and operating in these situations โ€“ a vital skill for every small business owner.


Hi, I’m a Small Business coach ๐Ÿค“

Starting a business is exciting and ambiguous โ€“ and thatโ€™s the fun. Itโ€™s a time of possibility, experimentation, imagination, and showing the world what you can do. 

But, it can also feel slow, frustrating, and full of traps and distractions, leaving potential entrepreneurs to question their self-worth and to wonder why they started in the first place. 

As a small business coach, I’ll help you cultivate an entrepreneur’s mindset, so you can start and grow your businesses with confidence and step boldly into the role of business owner.
