Burnout or Avoidance? How to Get Unstuck in Business


Listen Later

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you’re burnt out—or just avoiding the hard thing—this episode will help you get clear fast. Karas Wright sits down with Mervyn Brice of Forethought Consulting & Coaching to unpack what great coaching actually looks like, how coaching differs from consulting, and why proactive planning (time blocking, project thinking, and reflection) can save business owners a ton of time, money, and stress. 

Mervyn shares how his project management background shaped his coaching approach, why many entrepreneurs underestimate the “whole business” beyond the product or service, and how simple tools like postmortems, premortems, and prioritization frameworks can create stability when life feels chaotic.
