Your Big Dream vs. Your To-Do List
Jul 09, 2025
You have a huge, brilliant vision for your business. But you spend most of your day drowning in a to-do list that feels heavy and completely uninspired.
It's the painful gap between being the visionary and feeling like your own unpaid intern, and it can drain all your creative energy.
When that overwhelm hits, the impulse is to just hustle harder. But instead, you can see it as a sign—a signal to get curious about what’s really going on.
When you feel that friction, try this mental shift:
Instead of thinking:
-
"I just can't keep up with all of this."
-
"This is just what success is supposed to feel like."
-
"I just need to push through it."
Try this instead:
-
I’m done letting my to-do list dictate the value of my day.
-
I’m done ignoring the cracks in my business foundation.
-
I'm done forcing systems that I know can't support where I'm going.
-
I am ready to see this pressure as a clear signal that it’s time to upgrade my systems.
-
I'm ready to build a business that has the actual structure to hold my vision.
-
I'm ready for my operations to feel as aligned as my work. (This one is hitting for me right now).
