Does this feel familiar?
It's 7:30 PM on a Thursday. Your child's school program started 30 minutes ago, but a client emergency came up - again. Your phone shows three missed texts from your spouse and a photo of your child looking into the audience for the parent who isn't there.
Your business is generating solid revenue - you should feel proud. Instead, you're:
-
Working 50-60 hours while watching competitors with inferior offerings achieve more in 30
-
Constantly fielding "urgent" team questions that interrupt strategic work
-
Looking at the books hoping for an uptick, but seeing the numbers stagnate quarter after quarter
-
Checking emails at midnight because that's the only quiet time
-
Postponing doctor’s appointments, getting into a healthy routine, and vacations because "there isn't time"
-
Carrying business stress home, affecting your relationships
-
Facing the reality that your business depends entirely on you
