Notes from Chris

Episode 2220

Today’s caller can’t find the time to grow their business! Well, join the club ... we’re all struggling these days to find time. But one thing I’ve learned is that “time management” tips aren’t necessarily the solution. Often, there’s a deeper problem behind the time struggle, perhaps some greater obstacle or resistance that’s the real problem. (I’ve seen this myself.)

A version of that is exactly what we have here today. The caller says they can’t find the time, but as you hear the question, pay close attention. This is a good one...

"I have a problem that seems both unique and common. It's common because we all get behind, but it's unique because I seem to have a special gift for struggling in this area.

Specifically, something seems to happen to me as I go from starting something to moving on to the next stage. I have plenty of time to start new ideas. But then, if business picks up, I struggle. I get overwhelmed. I don't return calls or emails in a timely manner.

Not surprisingly, this results in me failing to grow my business. This has happened twice so far, including once when I grew the side hustle to almost $50,000/year, but failed to build beyond that point. Eventually, it all came crumbling to the ground. Again, starting is no problem—but growing is.

Am I destined to repeat the same patterns over and over? Help!"
