Description

Content note: This episode mentions mental health, burnout, chronic illness, and briefly references the high suicide rates in the veterinary profession.

Does it feel like all the business advice out there just doesn’t work for you?

If you’ve tried the tips - 5 a.m. mornings, batching, delegation - and ended up exhausted or convinced there’s something wrong with you, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

In this episode of The Organised CEO, we talk about:

• Why most business advice is written for people with predictable energy, simple lives and lots of support
• What to do when your reality looks very different - chronic illness, ADHD, parenting, trauma or just a life that doesn’t run on neat routines
• Two client stories showing how designing a business around your reality changes everything

You’ll leave this episode knowing that the problem isn’t your discipline or effort. It’s that you’ve been trying to make strategies work that were never designed for the way you live and work. I’ll walk you through how to start building a business operating system that finally fits.

If traditional advice has always felt like trying to squeeze yourself into someone else’s life, this one’s for you.
