STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS? YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
Overwhelmed with Obstacles
Obstacles are part of the journey.
When you choose to start and grow a business, you’re making an intentional choice to disrupt the status quo, to shake things up, and make a change.
Overwhelm, distraction, avoidance, stress, fear of failure, and frustration – these are all normal and expected.
experiment your way forward
Strategy is shaped by you.
Navigating the ambiguity of the startup process requires a pragmatic, resilient, and flexible mindset – one that’s ready to flip obstacles upside down.
Experimentation, prioritization, courage, stillness, and self-awareness – these skills are essential to building your business sustainably.
A Small Business Coach Can Help You Navigate ambiguity
Starting and growing a business is not a straight line.
It can feel messy. It zigs and zags, it starts and stops, it can feel frustrating even for the most seasoned business owners. And, that’s ok.
It’s also an exciting challenge. It’s going to stretch you. You’re going to learn a lot – not just about business, but about yourself. And, that’s why it’s worth it.
