Feeling lonely in your business? You’re not alone.

In this episode of My Daily Business Podcast, Fiona Killackey dives into a topic that often goes unspoken by entrepreneurs: loneliness. Even when things are going well, many business owners still feel isolated. Fiona explains why this happens and how to change it.

Running a business on your own can be tough—not just because of the work, but because of the mental toll it takes. Fiona shares personal stories, advice, and insights from other entrepreneurs on how to build real, supportive connections that help you thrive.

Here’s what Fiona covers in this episode:

  • The hidden costs of loneliness and how it affects your mindset
  • Why many entrepreneurs feel isolated, even when they're succeeding
  • How to build a network of small business friends who truly understand
  • Tips for overcoming competing priorities and making time for connections
  • Why group coaching or communities can help you build a support system
  • The importance of taking the first step to combat loneliness and find your people

If you’ve ever felt like you’re on this journey alone, this episode will give you practical steps to change that. Tune in for advice on how to overcome isolation and create a community that lifts you up.
