#243: The Truth About Building a Business (Spoiler: There Are Ups and Downs)
Building a business has ups and downs at every stage, and none of them automatically mean you're doing something wrong. Sometimes there's too little going on and sometimes there's too much. Things move more slowly than you want, or you don't have enough time to do everything that needs doing. Whether you're just getting started, fully booked, or growing into what's next, there's always some version of it to contend with.
I'm breaking down why that's simply the truth of having a business, and how to recognize where you are right now so you can make a conscious decision about what to do next, instead of making it mean something is wrong with you or your business.
Listen to learn more about:
Why things moving slower than you want isn't a sign that you're failing
How the deadlines you set for yourself can turn a normal phase into a crisis
What to do when you have more time than clients
What to do when you have more clients than time, and you can already see the next dip coming
Why doing your work any way you can, even before you're getting paid for it, is what keeps you moving
How being rigid about what you're willing to do can keep you stuck
What it looks like to build your body of work instead of waiting for the next client
Wherever you are in your business right now, nothing is wrong. And there's always something you can do.
