How to Conquer Overwhelm with Sheila Penton

When life happens (as it always does), it’s easy to get overwhelmed. As we face health emergencies, family issues, financial hardship, or other obstacles, we can struggle to find a way forward and re-focus on the things that will help us reach our business goals. 

In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with one of my incredible A-Players, Sheila Penton. As the founder of the virtual executive assistant business Online-EA and the mindful organization community Digital Declutter, Sheila is an expert at increasing efficiency, reducing overwhelm, and getting things done — strengths that helped her to grow her business during a turbulent time in her life! Our candid conversation explores Sheila’s inspiring entrepreneurial journey, the three enormous setbacks that could have derailed her business completely (and why they didn’t!), and two things we absolutely LOVE about hosting webinars.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

· Why you shouldn’t feel bad about shifting to smaller goals (and how this can be the best thing for your business) 

· Why healthy boundaries are a must-have, where Sheila draws the line in her business, and how she manages client expectations 

· The big A-ha! realization that changed the way Sheila delegates — and how to empower your team to OWN their tasks!
