The Shrink for Entrepreneurs

OCTOBER 1, 2013

Regular content coming soon. Two years ago, I announced that I would be recording free consultations (aka “The Clarity Couch”) for people who were brave – and committed enough – to fill out a pretty darn detailed questionnaire. That’s what makes the Clarity Couch so damn valuable.

MARCH 5, 2012

You can create wealth and usually bypass the usual freedom-devouring traps that most entrepreneurs get snared in. Consult your entrepreneurial shrink first, because 90% of solopreneurs experience a severe productivity handicap. The conspicuous absence of a boss telling you what to do… feels fantastic. Wake up at noon.

I thought so, until a recent experience opened my eyes. I’m now convinced that binge behavior is the secret to the kind of business success that allows entrepreneurs to contribute hugely and be rewarded for it.

I still consider myself one even though it’s been a few years since I’ve ridden and worked with horses. But I digress. While training for competition, I learned many valuable lessons (beyond the kind that made sure you didn’t canter off to your death). The result?

Enjoy – it’s a good one! If you want to make a career of writing, should you look for a full-time job in a company or strike out on your own as a freelancer? I’ve done both and have come to the conclusion that freelancing is what I like best. I hate ties. I work in jeans and Hawaiian shirts.

It’s a lot like standing on stage singing your heart out for all the world to see. So they write in a voice that they feel they should use – but their writing voice usually comes off sounding stiff and generic. What writing voice is appropriate? What is your writing voice, anyways?

In joint interviews and on their own podcast they interrupt each other, finish each other’s thoughts, tease each other, and riff on each other’s comments. It’s entertaining to listen to entrepreneurs Glenn and Mindy Stearns because you never know what’s going to come out of this married couple’s mouths next.

They work on projects, they do their own customer service, their own customer management, their marketing and networking, their project scheduling, admin and bookkeeping. They have to stay on top of everything. In this case, that means that if no one’s taking your job seriously, you may not be projecting that your job is serious.
