You are the problem.
I almost crashed my first one-person business.
I was only 12 months into my journey. I didn’t manage my cashflow properly. Clients ghosted me. I had a huge tax bill come in.
I felt like an absolute failure.
I went to bed crying with anxiety most days. But six months later, I recovered the business back to $20k per month and sold to a bigger consultancy.
Here are the brutal lessons I’ve learned from this journey.
You are the problem.
I’m about to cross $22k (AUD) per month in biz.
But I went to bed with anxiety for a week.
This should have been a happy moment.
My business revenue goal for Q1 of 2025 was $22k+ per month.
I achieved it 4 months earlier.
Immediately, I had thoughts of:
- “You don’t deserve this.”
- “What if all this goes away?”
I was crippled with imposter syndrome.
Fear was strangling me while I tried to sleep.
