There is a breakneck pace that many new solo business owners assume with an infinite number of things to do, and about a dozen hats to wear, it gets overwhelming, fast.
These strikes at the heart of the most dangerous myth in business: the bootstrap myth, known in this particular instance as the myth of the successful solo entrepreneur. The myth says that you can do it on your own, you can bootstrap your way to success, and that when you go solo, you do not need anyone else. That is the whole point of being self-employed, or running a personal-sized business.
In the physical reality, when you are an employee at a company, you get to do your job. And, unless you think upon it, you might not realize how much other people do just so you can do your job. If you're overwhelmed trying to make your business work yourself, there is good reason for it. Frustrating - but do not despair. It may help to understand why it is this way.
In the spiritual reality, when someone offers help, do you say: "Yes!" or do you say: "Nah, I can get it." If the bootstrap myth is operating in your business, there may be a hundred subtle and not-so-subtle ways that you avoid or turn away from help or prioritize. And yet we are meant to both help and be helped by each other. This is one of the ways that we experience the Divine in our lives, through the actions, support and love of others.
After going through some big transitions ourselves, having grown up in a small retail business, and having worked with hundreds of clients, let share some insights into how to prioritize.
