Step 1: trying to do everything yourself.
- Learning.
- Researching.
- Marketing.
- Branding.
- Serving.
(Tired yet?)
Step 2: do it all, poorly because…
- You have no one else you feel you can depend on.
- You are multitasking.
- You try to do it all.
You will lack somewhere…
And something’s gotta give.
Usually, quality.
That… or nothing gets done at all.
(Disgusted yet?)
Step 3: don’t change.
- Keep doing the same thing with no results.
- Work twice as hard to make half as much as you did at that job you couldn’t stand.
- Burnout is right around the corner.
(Need a hug?)
Or you could do the opposite.
You could do less. You could focus only on what matters most. Focus on the things you’re good at; those that you enjoy. And invest in yourself with some help from a friend or Upwork.
I mean. “Do fewer things with more effect, instead of more things with side effects.”
We have to change our mindset from believing we cannot afford someone to help, we don’t have enough funds to invest in ourselves, or we aren’t smart enough. Yes, you can! It boils down to evaluating your cash flow, setting priorities and realizing that you’re losing money if you do not get help, you do not invest in yourself, and if you stop talking bad about yourself.
Can the church say…..Amen.
