The Lie of "I'll Fix This Once Things Calm Down"

from Staying Solo

"I'll fix this when things calm down" is one of the most convincing lies we can tell ourselves about our business.  Because things don't calm down, they normalize. The workload, the pressure, and the vigilance can become the baseline. In this episode, we're breaking down why waiting for ease keeps you stuck and what actually creates room for change while the business is still working. Topics discussed in this episode include: Why waiting for things to calm down is a trap. How "working fine" still steals your time, energy, and pay. The real reason change feels risky. The small decisions that actually create room to change.
