054: Why solo businesses tend to get complicated

Solo business mini series part 2

Running a business of one feels in theory like it should be fairly simple. So how did things get so complicated?

If you’re like me, you started your business to do the thing you love doing, while having balance, freedom, and flexibility in your life. But in reality, maybe it hasn’t turned out quite like that.

Maybe you keep pushing through with to-dos late at night instead of winding down for the day at a decent hour.

Maybe you’re prioritizing business tasks over time with your loved ones, or hobbies, or even health.

Maybe you can’t stop thinking about work even when you’re out with friends, or when you finally get a quiet moment to yourself all you can think about is what else you need to do for your business.

Today I wanna talk about 6 reasons small businesses can get so complicated, and why tasks start piling up (and piling up fast!)
