The Amy Porterfield Show

Decision fatigue is a real thing – here’s how to move past itI’m sure you’ve heard before that one of the key characteristics of great leaders is their ability to make informed decisions quickly. And if you’re a business owner, then you fully understand just how many decisions you need to make on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s a small decision -- like how you want your email signature to look, or something larger, like whether or not to hire a team -- making decisions is not always easy. And I’ll be honest, even though I’ve honed my decision-making skills over the years, there are times where I simply just don’t want to make them.Yes, sweet friend. Decision fatigue is a very real thing, and I’ve dealt with it a lot in my business over the years. So what do you do when you’re faced with making a decision that you just don’t feel like making -- especially when you don’t have a CEO to help guide you? And to take it one step further, does the fact that you struggle with making decisions make you inept as a leader?In this episode, I explore this – along with the three specific things I do in my own business when I’ve got to make a call on something and all I want to do is pass the buck to someone else.You’ll walk away with the tools to become a master decision maker (and troubleshooter), and make your next decision swiftly and confidently. Enjoy! Here’s a glance at this episode... [04:08] One of the qualities of a great leader is the ability to make informed decisions quickly, but hat happens when you're sick of making decisions? [07:46] Remind yourself that with every decision you make, you can change direction if you need to.  [10:03] Surround yourself with a few people who you trust that can help you make decisions.  [11:58] Tell yourself: I am a master decision maker. I'm also a master troubleshooter. Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!

And if you’d told me then that I’d have what I do now (the team, the revenue, the community, and a heart full of gratitude), I’d have laughed too.As for what I’m most grateful for in entrepreneurship…You’re probably experiencing it right now. And in this special episode, I hope you’ll realize that this experience is what will make you. And don’t forget, this episode is part of our Week of Gratitude & Giving – and you know what that means – I’m giving away a GRAND PRIZE.

Jasmine Star opens up about the friendships she’s truly grateful for in this heartwarming episodeThere are so many things to be grateful for as an entrepreneur -- the opportunity to do what you love, work from anywhere, and call all of the shots, just to name a few.But one thing on the list that often gets overlooked are those incredible friendships with other entrepreneurs that you create along your journey.It’s those entrepreneurial friends who can help you through the tough times in ways that other supportive people in your life simply can’t – not because they don’t want to, but because they don’t know exactly what you’re going through. For me, Jasmine Star has been one of those friends. She’s been with me for the ups, the downs, and everything in between. And I’m there for her, too.I won’t lie, what Jasmine shares in this episode brought me to tears.

What to do when you start to wonder “Am I really good enough?”Have you ever wondered “Am I good enough?” when something hasn’t gone exactly according to plan in your business? I know I have. Recently, I’ve been questioning if I have what it takes to be ok TikTok. I’ve invested a ton of time and energy into the platform and I’m just not picking up steam like I had hoped when I originally committed to it. This isn’t the first time I’ve doubted myself when it comes to doing something in my business, and believe me, there are plenty of things I’ve attempted before that have gone completely sideways. And what I’ve learned through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is that sometimes things simply don’t work out. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad business owner, or you don’t have the chops to be successful, or that you should automatically give up.No, sweet friend. You’ve got to give yourself some grace, and remind yourself that you are good enough -- period. And if you decide that it’s the best decision to throw in the towel, that’s ok too. Not everything is going to be a ‘Win.’And that’s why I wanted to record this episode for you -- so you can hear firsthand that you’re not alone, and also what I remind myself when those low level feelings start to creep in.Here’s a glance at this episode... [07:11] Being authentic matters, even if the platform isn't for you or the other way around. Some things don't work out, even when you pour time and energy into them. [08:49] If you're committed to something and say you're going to do it for a certain amount of time, remove the option to not show up. [10:21] You can quit if things are no longer serving you or bringing you joy, but don't quit if you're just fearful that it's just not going to work.  [12:26] I know I'm good enough, even if my audience on TikTok isn't there yet. I'm going to stick it out, and I'm growing because of it. Remember to remind yourself that you’re good enough!  [14:21] Not everything you do in your business will be a win nor does it even have to be. Being an entrepreneur means that you're not always going to hit home runs. [15:58] Everything I do is to help other people realize freedom. That might not look like a hundred thousand TikTok followers and that's okay.

A renowned psychotherapist shares how to navigate the most difficult parts of being a business ownerI wholeheartedly believe that entrepreneurship can be one of the best gifts you can give yourself. It can bring you freedom to design your life the way that you want to, all while doing something that you love. But as you probably already know, if not managed well, the stress of being a business owner can really take a toll on you. On the daily, entrepreneurs deal with things like decision fatigue, loneliness, and burnout.In fact, I recently read an alarming statistic that 72% of entrepreneurs struggle with mental health, and I’ll be honest -- that number feels far too high, and a little close to home! It’s one of my goals to bring more awareness to this issue that affects so many people in business, and that’s why I invited Lori Gottlieb to be a guest on the show.Lori is a renowned psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, which now has a journal to go along with it. (Listen to find out how to get a chance to win one of these!) In addition to her clinical practice, she is co-host of the popular Dear Therapists podcast, and writes The Atlantic’s weekly Dear Therapist advice column. In this important conversation, Lori shares how to: Find balance between vulnerability and being viewed as an expert Lean on your own intuition more when making stressful decisions  Tap into more acceptance and enjoyment when things change, versus fear  Navigate loneliness as an entrepreneur Plus much, much more! I’ll go ahead and call it right here -- this episode is going to be a fan-favorite. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
