    Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: How I Built a Successful Business Without the Roller Coaster

    Send us a text I reflect on my guilt-free 20-year business journey that's been surprisingly drama-free compared to the roller coaster experience many entrepreneurs describe. • Don't sweat the small stuff - budget for issues and solve problems quickly to avoid stress • Make quick decisions rather than overthinking - "don't worry about making the right decision, just make the decision right" • Stay curious by attending demos and networking events even when not planning immediate changes • Learn from peer-led mentoring, not just from trainers who haven't recently been in your position • Implement weekly "one percenters" - small consistent improvements that compound over time • Create a supportive culture where team members aren't penalized for honest mistakes • Avoid stubborn thinking that prevents you from learning new approaches • Balance expert training with practical knowledge from peers facing the same challenges If you're struggling with your business or feeling stuck, reach out to me. I'm always happy to chat with no agenda, or you can explore more structured support through PM Collective with our weekly one-percenters, fortnightly check-ins, and direct access to personalized guidance.
