Breaking Free from the Survival Trap

Have you ever felt like you were just spinning your wheels in your business? Have you felt that the very best effort you could give is never enough? This is called the “survival trap,” and that’s the focus of today’s show. I want to explain what the survival trap is, what it looks like in your business, and best of all, what you can do to break free. Join me!

Many business owners have too many things on their plates, and they just can’t get everything done. This survival trap will stagnate your business and burn you out. We can help you break free and get back the life you want. Our FREE Better Business Better Life Jumpstart is starting on April 10, and we want you to join us!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.

Show Highlights:

  • Signs that you are in the survival trap in your business–Look out for these red flags! (Does this sound like you?)
  • Why you are not alone (9 out of 10 entrepreneurs experience burnout with symptoms around mood, difficulty enjoying life away from work, sleeplessness, skipping proper meals and exercise, increased stress, and social isolation)
  • The truth: being in the survival trap means that you need higher levels or organizational systems in your growing business
  • How EVERY decision needs to support your bigger WHY of your business
  • How my daily “one thing” designation helped me in the early days of entrepreneurship and became my chart of $10,000 an Hour Activities (Get the chart here!)
  • What I’ve discovered about the key systems that have the greatest impact to help you break free of the survival trap
  • What it takes to break free from the survival trap
  • What’s waiting for you on the other side of the survival trap? (We want you to get to the other side and find out! Let us help! Sign up for our FREE Better Business Better Life Jumpstart that runs for one hour each day during the week of Monday, April 10.)
