I run an online health coaching business with my husband that we started in April of 2019. I absolutely love my job, I love working with my clients and helping people change their lives. But I’m feeling so burnt out trying to continue growing our business. And to be clear we aren’t failing, we’ve grown by 5-10% year over year even in 2020, but as our life as grown and the world has gotten more expensive I have this constant sense that we need to grow faster.
We’ve done SO much to expedite it, hired multiple marketing services, social media, YouTube, live and table events, blogs, etc. Nothing has really sped this up. And while I know this is just the process that all business owners go through and have to just push through I’m having a hard time actually pushing through.
Does anyone have suggestions on finding the energy to keep doing this until we finally get to a stable place?
And for context, we are a luxury service with luxury prices so we have raised our prices several times to try to lighten the load without sacrificing our income. That helped minimally. We’ve also even still have a service that is running ads for us (but those are picking up steam slowly as well) to take some pressure off there. But there is always something I could be doing to help us grow and lately finding the motivation to do anything more than just the bare minimum is a struggle. Right now this is only affecting my ability to work on growth but I’m very concerned if this continues it will start to bleed into my coaching and being helpful and effective for my clients.
