As a business owner, you know what it’s like to lie awake at 2 a.m. Maybe it has happened when you are excited and full of new ideas for your business. More often, it’s because you are worried about issues you will face the next day. Sometimes, it’s because you just woke up with the solution to a problem. I’ve experienced all those emotions about my businesses over the years. Awake at 2 o’clock? is where I share them with you, and hopefully help with answers that will let you sleep.

Small business owners are the Hunters of the 21st century. We are 3% of the US population, and yet we create over half of all American jobs. As Hunters, we may not be inclined to manage by the numbers or stick to systems. Are you a Hunter or a Farmer?

COVID Fatigue Unites Business Owners
Dealing with COVID fatigue unites business owners. If that sounds strange to you, let me make my case. I’m not doing this to whine, but I want business owners who don’t have an existing support structure to know that they … Continue reading

Thank you, John, for writing this. The chronic impact of COVID-19 seems to get heavier as time goes on. Being part of TAB where I can share thoughts/feelings about difficulties has been so helpful during this time. Successful business owners have perseverance, but these times sure have been challenging. Your statement about the serial issues/problems is spot on. We fix one issue only to have several more lined up to deal with. The issues brought about by COVID-19 are on top of our usual issues so take even more time/energy/money… I hope you are well. Thank you again for your article.

John,
In a few short paragraphs you have succinctly stated what so many feel, but are at a loss to define or adequately express. I have copied and shared your thoughtful article with a couple of my Business Coaching Clients that are doing “well” during COVID and yet feel strangely guilty in doing so. They know much of their “New Normal” success is COVID generated, and is temporary in nature, but are thankful, and a little guilty, that it comes from the misfortune of others.
Lemonade from lemons with a COVID twist?

Great article John. Glad to see that you discuss “Planning for Your Comeback”, as I think that many businesses will need to “grow” their way out of this situation. There are enough doom and gloom articles out there, we need to provide these business owners some hope and optimism.

Thank you John ,Great Article, I am so glad you send out these newsletters as i am in the transition cycle right now and having a succession plan is the most important to all business owners. Im so glad that i was part of TAB for over 8 years and learned about balancing work & play and building teams that can run the company with out me. Stay Safe out there
Tongue-in-cheek or not, this is a good follow on to your comments about, “Today is the First Day of Your Exit-Planned or Not.”
Excellent list, John. All too true and need to be considered. With planning there are alternatives to every one.
