Next Level eCommerce

I didn’t feel like myself.

That’s the simplest way to describe the last few months, and it caught me off guard.

Because nothing was obviously wrong.
 I still loved my business. Things were growing. From the outside, it all looked good.

But underneath that, I felt overwhelmed all the time, like I was trying to keep up with something that wasn’t going to slow down.

At one point, I realized:
it felt like I was trying to dig myself out from under a mountain… and the mountain was growing faster than I could dig.

And it wasn’t just work.

In this episode, I’m talking through what that actually felt like, and why it took me a while to understand what was really going on.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed even when things are going well… or like you’re slowly losing your edge without knowing why… you might recognize more of this than you expect.

I’ve started 9 businesses in 12 years. No wonder I’m exhausted.

Here’s what I would do differently if I were starting today, which is actually what I did to start my latest business.

Note: if you want to be a solo consultant or freelancer, that’s different than I’m talking about in this episode. That’s a fine choice but it will have very different considerations.

Also, I said make $100k in annual revenue before committing to the business. That might be too high. Maybe $50k is the number, but I wouldn’t go below that.

Lastly, I said I hope to never talk about starting a business again, but I don’t actually mind talking to you about it if you’d like. I just don’t like listening to podcasts, and wouldn’t like to go on podcasts talking about it
