Description

There’s something not on your calendar that still takes up a lot of headspace. It’s something that no one really talks about. And it’s this:

You can be fully booked—calendar, clientele roster, and all—and still feel completely lonely in your business. Why? Because you have no one to bounce ideas off or to serve as a sounding board for tough decisions. It’s just you at the top.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about the impact of entrepreneurial loneliness on you as a business owner. I’ll discuss the isolationism of being the one in charge, the stages of entrepreneurial loneliness, and what you can do to protect yourself against it (emphasizing the importance of having a real support system early on). 

2:46 – The invisible weight of decision fatigue

5:06 – How entrepreneurial loneliness evolves in three stages

8:14 – How an iceberg resembles your business and you as its CEO

9:21 – What real community looks like for women entrepreneurs

11:58 – Self check-in, your assignment, and an invitation

15:08 – How to build protection against loneliness before it takes its toll
