103: #103 How To Escape Overwhelm

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2024/11/07

When I think back on my first five years in business, I remember so many times where I felt unbelievably overwhelmed. While entrepreneurship can be rewarding, it can also be a pretty lonely experience; especially when juggling all the pressure and stress by yourself. It took me a little while to realise that overwhelm thrives on a lack of boundaries. In order to feel more in control of myself and my business, I had to learn how to self-reflect and prioritise my own self-care. Once I truly

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2024/10/31

Social media has this annoyingly loud voice that tries to convince us that we should chase after external markers like wealth and social media followers to define success; but why?! What about our own personal fulfillment and happiness; does that not matter? Or how about financial freedom or the luxury of time to live your life how YOU want to. Does that not count either if your followers aren't hitting the 10k mark? Before becoming overwhelmed by someone else's voice and opinion: reflect on

2024/10/10

I think every business owner goes through the stage where it feels like selling your products or services is an uphill battle. We panic, we're confused, we're anxious... and so we buy into this myth that we need to do more. But, before diving into more pointless marketing tactics, what we should do first is take a look at our fundamentals. Are you absolutely clear on your vision and mission?

I'm going to tell you something that might come as a surprise: hustle culture is a myth.

2024/09/12

It can be hard to let go of things sometimes, can't it? Trust me, I get it. Too often we hold onto things because of the memories or feelings associated with them, even if they no longer serve a practical purpose. But, have you ever considered how much all that (emotional) clutter can weigh us down?

94: #94 Should You Refocus Your Vision?

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2024/09/05

After 10+ years of being in business, the one thing I've learnt to be the most important is having a clear vision. There's no point in doing anything unless you know the WHY it matters and what you truly want.Trust me, early on in my career my drive was more about escaping an unfulfilling job rather than following a well-defined plan and I couldn't understand why those negatives feelings weren't going anywhere. Of course they weren't! I had no idea what I actually wanted my life to look like

93: #93 Why A Strategy Isn't Enough

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2024/08/29

Simply having a strategy is like having an empty Tupperware container: it serves its purpose but without any of the good stuff inside to enjoy. Ultimately, it's pointless. What's the point in being in business at all if you're not doing things that excite you or give you a sense of fulfilment, right? When it comes to making your strategies, you should infuse them with meaning and emotional investment because understanding the WHY of what you do drives you to keep motivated and committed. Listen

Messy Business - with Libby Langley ·

2024/08/15

Believe it or not, working harder is NOT the key to success. For me, more effort does not necessarily equate to more clients or higher profits. Instead, I advocate for a more introspective approach.

Ah, the relentless push to succeed. We're all too familiar with it, aren't we? This constant strain we put on ourselves to climb uphill, even if we know that it only leads us to frustration, exhaustion, and burnout, and yet, we continue. Wouldn't be better, and more fun, to roll downhill? Hear me out...

Running a business isn't always easy... and some days it feels extra difficult, doesn't it?

Social media places such immense pressure on business owners, doesn't it? There's that really annoying belief that we need to be constantly 'active' and appear like we're shouting for attention and if it's not working; the numbers aren't growing or we're not going viral... it's no wonder we fall into the trap of feeling invisible. So what do we do? However, true visibility is about authenticity and making meaningful impact. It's like ants (bear with me...), even the smallest and often unnoticed

How can we 'stay small' to grow bigger? It sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it - but let me explain... Believe me, I've been there, feeling this pressure to grow, grow, grow and - honestly - it left me feeling as unfulfilled and unsatisfied as I ever had done before. It's so easy to get swept up in the 'conventional' notion that business success equates to expansion and huge financial growth but I say that a more nuanced approach where you prioritise autonomy, personal fulfilment and defining
