Every entrepreneur faces an overwhelming set of tasks to be accomplished. The list is endless. Strategy. Technology. Team. Business models. Plans. Tactics. Functional areas. Branding. Staff. Money management. Offices. Fundraising.

Welcome to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the entrepreneur. This is the life of the entrepreneur. Overwhelming is an understatement. Put aside the passion, energy, emotion and pressure and think of all the things that need to get done.

It’s like standing in front of a dam holding back a river of water. Your first issue of the day arises, and pokes a hole in the dam and you plug it with one finger. Then the next hole and you use another finger. After a few hours, you’ve encountered ten issues and you’ve used your ten fingers. Problem solved. Then another leak springs and then another. No problem, you are an entrepreneur and you are creative. You use your toes. Soon it’s only lunchtime and you have used all ten fingers and all ten toes. Then one more hole comes and you figure out a way to use your tongue.

Overwhelming is par for the course for all entrepreneurs. If you can find an entrepreneur that says, “we’ve got everything under control,” then I have some unicorn hooves I’d like to sell you. When “overwhelmed” is the norm for entrepreneurs, why is one business able to make progress and another can’t? What we need to learn is how to have the right perspective and to apply the right tools and insights when we feel overwhelmed. With The Lonely Entrepreneur methodology you will gain access to detailed tips and strategies for managing the entrepreneurial experience, and perspective shifts that will empower you to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed.
