"I’m just in a bit of a slump."
"It’ll sort itself out."
"I just need to get on with it."
The standard guidance for any entrepreneur has traditionally been that growth requires getting uncomfortable — that stepping outside your comfort zone is a sign you're doing good things, moving forward, and levelling up.
While for some this holds true, living in a constant pressurised "what’s next?" state can, and often does, actually trigger and deepen the slumps we fall into.
The constant hustle can all too often backfire.
Always chasing the next goal.
Always questioning if you’re doing enough.
Always comparing your progress to others.
When your energy is low, even small decisions feel overwhelming, and that slows down progress big time.
Slumps lead to procrastination and you can all too easily lose sight of the original passion that was behind you starting your business in the first place.
Your mood can easily spill over into how you talk to your team, clients, or those close to you.
