Overcoming the small business owner's curse

In this episode of the Product Biz Podcast, we dive deep into something I like to call "The Small Business Owner's Curse"— which is a challenge that almost EVERY single. small business owner faces when they go from their initial success... to long-term growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of quick wins that are dwindling down weeky by week by week and are struggling to achieve something MORE, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What the Small Business Owner's Curse is... and how it can lead to frustration as your business grows and eventually plateaus, which can start to feel like quicksand that is swallowing you no matter what you try
  • The Transition Phase: the crucial shift from quick wins, quick hacks, quick tips... to DECIDING to take on more complex projects and skills as your business evolves in order TO see new results.
  • Overcoming burnout and reactivity: why doubling down on old strategies or jumping from one idea to another can lead to burnout... and how to avoid this pitfall so your business is NOT in the same place it was last year, going through the same hurdles, with the same frustrations.
  • The Importance of intuition and creativity to make the RIGHT decisions (instead of fear-based decisions) that guide you to and through the next phase in your business.

Clear & effective communication!

Great podcast from Monica Little! She talks about the power of integrity, changing your mind-set to get stuff done and being accountable (both personally & professionally). The podcast is geared towards small business owners, but really so much of what Monica explains can be applied to various parts of anyone's life. She articulates so accurately many of the thoughts I have about the challenges of being a small business owner. It's reassuring & comforting to hear Monica break it all down in a comprehensive way in order to overcome the struggles. My favorite take-aways were how she explained that believing in yourself = FREEDOM and "how you do one thing is how you do everything".

I’m Learning So Much!

I love listening to Monica’s podcast as a handmade small business owner! She offers so many tangible tips within her episodes that have helped me to believe in and grow my small business. Episode 2 was very helpful as she discusses the power of integrity and using a habit tracker. I loved this concept and will begin to use one. I can relate to so many of the stories she tells about running her own handmade business. Thank you Monica for all of these episodes! I cannot wait to listen to more.
