119: How Delaney Quit Her Job With Freelance Writing
Inspire Your Success
Learn how one of my students used freelance writing to quit her 9-5 in less than 6 months (while working full-time).
info_outlineIn this Monday with Michael episode, we talk about overwhelm versus busyness and go over five tangible action steps to keep your freelance business moving forward.
The Difference Between Being Overwhelmed and Being Busy
It really all comes down to planning. Being busy is a good thing if it’s moving towards your goals.
Being overwhelmed on the other hand usually leads to ‘shutdown’ and you tend to stop doing what you need to do. When you are overwhelmed, your calendar starts to feel like it’s just ‘stuff to get done’; when you are busy though, that same calendar is attacked with a purpose of getting things done in a systematic way.
5 Tips to Stop the Overwhelmed Feeling
When you are building a business the last thing you want to do is halt your progress! Here are tips to stop you from feeling overwhelmed:
- Schedule Less
I recommend to schedule only 3 things in a day! - Start Using the 80/20 Rule
20% of everything that you do in life or your business produces 80% of the results. - Start Self Care Recharging Rituals
Become self aware enough to recognize when you need to rest and when you need to charge through. - Write in a Journal
The act of physically writing something will help you gain clarity. - Celebrate Your Wins!
Let your brain recognize the reward of a job well done.
