Why Your Business—and Life—Are Overwhelmed (And How I Fixed It)
Why Your Business—and Life—Are Overwhelmed (And How I Fixed It)
Let’s face it: most of us didn’t start our own business to become slaves to it. So why are you trapped in endless admin, firefighting, and ‘just getting by’? If you’re constantly ‘in’ your business instead of ‘on’ it, you’re not alone. Research shows 40% of business owners work over 60 hours a week, and 60% work more than 50. That’s not sustainable.
It all comes down to one thing: you MUST build systems, processes, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
But WAIT! If you’re mentally switching off at the words “systems and processes,” you’re missing an absolute superpower. As someone whose run their business, trained their team, and run 10k+ in barefoot shoes, I can tell you—it’s life-changing.
My Secret: Return On Time
Here’s what flipped the switch for me:
Every hour you spend creating a system can save you 52 hours a year on just one recurring weekly task.
Imagine if you did that for ten tasks. Or twenty! That’s how you reclaim evenings, weekends, and mental freedom.
I used to procrastinate, thinking SOPs had to be complicated, presented in glossy videos or expensive software. But honestly? All you need is a simple, numbered list. Pen and paper, Word doc, even a WhatsApp message—just document every step of your repetitive tasks.
Start small: Write down a process you do every week.
Delegate: If someone can do it 70% as well as you, let it go! They’ll get better with practise.
Build over time: You don’t need a fancy manual to begin. Just get going.
Remember: “Done is better than perfect.” The longest journey (even a barefoot ultra around the WORLD!) starts with a single step.
Stop Scrolling—Start Delegating!
You’re not “too busy to create systems”—you’re too busy NOT to. If you don’t change, you’ll keep missing out on real growth, freedom, and the chance to make a massive impact.
Action Steps (TODAY!):
Pick ONE recurring task you hate.
Write down the steps—numbered, simple.
Pass it is on.
Celebrate the time you just reclaimed!
