Running your business empire is tough especially when it’s just YOU on your own.

If you try to do everything yourself you’ll end up working like an employee again. Only this time not for somebody else but for you in YOUR business. Ironic really, as this is probably the main reason that you left corporate life. You left because you wanted to be in charge of your own time and future. No longer a slave to another person’s beating drum.

But you’re only NOW discovering that you’re overwhelmed by the amount on your “to do” list.

Not just that, but you used to enjoy your casual conversations over the water cooler and now there’s none of that. You are busy but isolated. Decisions are tough and your focus isn’t always on the high hanging fruit. Being able to prioritise isn’t as clear as it used to be and who’s patting you on the back as there’s no appraisal system?

The reality: You’re feeling isolated and wonder if you’ve done the right thing.

Picture of Alison — Alison Finlay is an experienced business coach and mentor.

I am guessing, you’ve probably looked for places to share your challenges.

You’ve looked at places to network and to meet other women like you. All you’ve probably found is other women keen to share or sell to you what they do. There’s never a chance to really talk about what’s challenging you.

So you’ve tried talking to your partner, family or even friends. The thing is, although they believe in you and what you are doing, they can’t give you the impartial advise you’re looking for.

Maybe you’ve become a social media junkie. You justify the amount of time you spend there as your way of connecting to a “tribe” of similar folk. The reality is you so miss valuable connections with people.

My Own Story
