How To Deal With Business Overwhelm—Psychotactics

How To Deal With Business Overwhelm

As a small business owner, you are going to feel overwhelmed at some point in your business. You have so much to do. You have to keep up with ever-changing technology and at the same time, upgrade your skill. You are constantly running out of time and energy. The fear of failure sets in, and then you enter the downward overwhelm spiral.

In this section, we look at the different elements of overwhelm and how doing simple tasks can help you beat the curse.

You will learn about:

  • How to deal with business overwhelm
  • How to beat fear when you're self-employed
  • How your small business can overwhelm you (and how to get out of the trap)
  • How to conquer your fear of starting a business (The Overwhelm Curse)
  •  How to get unstuck when you are paralysed with fear.

Why An Audience Matters (More Than Talent)

Author: Sean D'Souza

I was lousy at marketing. Well, let’s put it this way: I was (and still am) an outstanding cartoonist. And marketing was nowhere close to being my forte. I’d write, but I’d agonise over it. The only thing that kept me going was the audience. Audiences are needed…and not just for those who are struggling […]

Should You Share Your Philosophy With Your Clients?

Author: Sean D'Souza

If my estimate is right, you should be reading this blog about the exact time I’m speaking in Chicago (at the System Seminar). And my presentation is about ‘How To Increase Prices (Without Losing Customers)’. So what’s philosophy got to do with conversion? And should you put in philosophy into a conversation with clients? That’s […]

The Picasso Principle

Author: Sean D'Souza

There’s a story (true or false, I don’t know) about the famous artist, Pablo Picasso. It seems a woman came up to him and asked him to sketch something on a piece of paper. He sketched it, and gave it back to her saying: “That will cost you $10,000”. She was astounded. “You took just […]

Is Less, More?

Author: Sean D'Souza

It’s fine to say ‘less is more.’ But instead ‘more is not less.’ And often certain phrases like this get thrown about without any real frame of reference. For example: Let’s say you sat down to dinner. And you got three olives and a glass of water. That’s less. And you’re still hungry. On the […]

Why You Need To Stop Talking About The Economic Crisis Right Away

Author: Sean D'Souza

Ok, so I goofed. I said ‘economic crisis.’ But listen to me. Stop it. Stop talking about it. Stop talking about it, because bad as it is/will be, everyone is fed up already. Yes, even though I’ve been rambling about the crisis in earlier posts, the time has come to stop it. Because everyone is […]

Why Connection Is Way More Important Than Content

Author: Sean D'Souza

So let’s assume you’ve had a crappy day. A really, really crappy day. Do you write a blog post on a crappy day? If you listened to all those people around you, they’ll all chorus a big “NOoooooooooooooo!” You should only write when you’re happy, and excited, they say. You shouldn’t write when you’re sad. […]

Wasting Time vs. Time Well Wasted

Author: Sean D'Souza

How do you grow a list? Wasting Time vs. Time Well Wasted

You probably haven’t realised it. But there’s a difference between the two. Time well wasted is a good activity. Wasting time is a silly activity. So what’s the difference between the two concepts? And how on earth could either of them be ‘good’ activities? Let’s tackle wasting time So I woke up today, and got […]

The $2000 Dilemma

Author: Sean D'Souza

I can’t really recall the date: I think it was Jan 25th 2009. I opened up the newspaper. And there it was: Air New Zealand was offering discounted fares from Auckland to London for just $2000. And in less than 24 hours, they’d sold their pre-arranged quota of 2000 tickets. That’s $4,000,000 in under 24 […]
