Are you finding it harder to stay positive when the numbers keep slipping? Do you feel like you’re constantly holding everything together for everyone else?
If your business feels like it’s stuck in survival mode and you’re running on empty, this episode is for you. I share what I’ve learned about staying mentally strong when the market is unpredictable, trading conditions are tough, and the pressure never seems to stop.
In this episode, I talk about how to protect your headspace so you can step up and lead you and your team through the tough patches.
You’ll hear practical advice drawn from both personal experience and the real challenges small business owners face right now.
I’ll explore how to build resilience, refocus your energy, and take back a sense of control, even when trading conditions are tough.
What you'll learn in the podcast episode:
- The hidden costs of bad hires that go far beyond salary
- Why we default to gut feel recruitment and why it doesn't work anymore
- The biggest mistake most firm owners make
- What good hiring actually requires beyond just "someone who can do the job"
