Sigh. If you’re a new or mid-level entrepreneur then you ought to learn that business is not a game for the faint of heart. Your biz is your livelihood. It can be fun, but also dangerous. And unless you’re a pro, serial entrepreneur with tons of experience, getting a single business off the ground is going to take all your focus.
Think it through, if you’re not a pro juggler, you shouldn’t be juggling 3 chainsaws, right?
You should be practicing and getting the feel for a single egg until you basically never drop it. Only then do you add a second egg.
This applies to trying to grow multiple platforms, juggling multiple projects, and publishing multiple content formats too. Just be smart, please.

Are you?
Does this sound familiar?
You scroll through your feed at 100mph, eyes flitting around like a hummingbird. Your vision rests briefly on a guru saying “Instagram is the best place to make money.” You immediately spend your day making your grid look nice.
Three people see it.
You take the next day 'off.' You take it off’ to recover from all the ‘productive’ Instagram content you made the day before. Plus you’re on your period and the kids are home from school, so obviously the day’s a write-off. Ah yes, time to binge Game Of Thrones, it’s a great relief, escapism matters, after all.
“Self-care is so important, woo-hoo!”
The following day...you wake up & decide to do something different. You do not revisit your Instagram. Instead, you choose to post in your Facebook group “for a change.” An article you read said solopreneurs must avoid boredom, so as a focused person, you don’t want to get bored with the ‘gram. And hey, you’re psyched to get your group’s 40 members up to 50, anyway, so you start reading about ‘Group Engagement.’
You go down a rabbit hole and by the end of the day, your member count’s up to a whopping… 41.
You scrunch down your disappointment at a wasted twenty-four hours, then rationalize it away by saying “Hey, at least I got one more member.” It’s progress!
Your pretty grid, GoT-binging, and Facebook Group efforts have gotten you nowhere in your biz. These annoying realizations trigger you to spend your day whining to family & friends about how hard & depressing business is. They don’t want to talk to a negative-nancy or a sad-sack, so they shut you up by saying “it’s not your fault”, then distract you with fun jokes & conversation.
Just because you occasionally mention your dream or post on socials, doesn’t mean you’re really focused on it.
