Itβs (not) A Big Thing: A Podcast for Solo Business
Join us as we find ways in our working days to shape and settle into operating as a solo business to be simple enough. Enjoy.
Also listen on:
46 | Why it's important to keep asking, 'What's the point?' in solo business.
This conversation is a simple one, itβs one of asking and asking the repeated ask of, βWhatβs the point?β. Enjoy.
45 | How clarity can become something we feel in our business thinking.
So often weβre told and promised clarity as something that is doable and done in business, and yet, for someone like me who needs to feel a feel for it to be real, clarity still felt like just an ideal idea. In this conversation youβll hear a recounting of feeling clarity come together and how itβs already lighting the way forward. Enjoy.
44 | How preparing business reports can (actually) grow the way we work in solo business.
Here you get to see a little way that has a big say each working week. Sharing a small knowing that was backed up by preparing the Monday morning reporting (aka the Weekly Report), which has a real-time influence in the business ways of working while navigating new and unknown tasks (e.g., working through the first campaign experience).
43 | How ai is forcing the revisit to business models...and why it's good news for solo business.
So it sounds strange until it doesnβt. Here, in this conversation, we share the connection thatβs forcing businesses of all sizes to look at where they play their part in a bigger picture. The best part is that in solo business we donβt have to wait. Instead, we can choose to lean in and learn what we need to learn about ourselves and others to choose how we play our part from here. Enjoy.
42 | How mapping resources and relationships makes more sense in solo business.
Heya. As we share layer 2 of the Work Life Balance Model* we share a little of what initially inspired and continues to inform and influence the build and application of the Work Life Balance Model*. Enjoy.
41 | How we're balancing work and life while running a solo business.
We begin the build of peeling away the complexity of the blurred lines between the parts in and out of running a solo business to open up the space thatβll support the clarity to come. Enjoy.
40 | How the thinking behind the business is that steadying focus when we get the wobbles.
Here, we let you in a little on the real-time experience of navigating, creating and delivering a campaign (aka a single focus with a concentrated effort for a specified time). Enjoy.
39 | Don't buy from us yet.
It sounds weird and yet it works, as all the best ways work here. This conversation is actually not that weird when you hear the thinking behind it. Here weβre sharing the thinking by asking you not to buy the resources that (actually) resource solo businessβ¦yet. Enjoy.
38 | How having 'thinking structures' supports navigating out of overwhelm.
Sharing a super normal solo business moment that weβve prevented from growing into a molehill or mountain to be more doable. This conversation is for when you want an example of how you can work with your own thinking to get in and out of overwhelm and on your way to getting it done. Enjoy.
37 | How a specialist working with a specialist navigates not doing what was agreed.
In this conversation weβre sharing the days following working with our trusted specialist. This experience is shared for the pure purpose of a normal norm in what we have experienced in knowing that some things are only known when theyβre known. Enjoy.
36 | What it feels like when we (actually) feel ready to work with a specialist in Solo Business.
In this conversation we (specifically Kathy through the lenses of the SBO and SBD) share a little insight into the feels of the feels of having all the necessary data to inform, influence, and inspire our direction, designs, and decisions when working with a specialist. Enjoy.
35 | There's no buffer in Solo Business, so it's best to do "the work" along the way.
Being only ourselves in a Solo Business means weβre without a buffer, and the solo business rolesβ lenses are there for us to make sense, not others. So, with no buffer and without blame, weβve weathered βthe workβ that needed to be done in the person part of the business, and weβre all the better for it on the other side. Enjoy.
34 | How Solo Business Roles bring balance to the pressure to perform.
Here youβre welcome to sit in on our start of the week Solo Business roundtable, where we share whoβs up to what so that everyoneβs aware of whatβs happening where. We also open up the fixed footprint to ask an ask for additional resources as needed. Enjoy.
33 | Introducing an update from all the Solo Business Roles.
While weβve come a long way from our stumbling start in the podcast (aka finding our voice), the podcast still requires more resources than we would like to have as part of our Solo Business design so that we can keep playing our part in resourcing Solo Business β so we keep iteratingβ¦weβre letting you in our a weekly Solo Business roundtable. Enjoy.
32 | Why calendar quarters are (actually) working for Solo Business.
In this conversation we look through the lens of the Solo Business Director (SBD) to move closer to sharing a little more detail, specifically, the primary focus of the Solo Business Q1 and what we will be releasing to (actually) resource Solo Business.
31 | Starting the Solo Business year with big (enough) thinking.
Meeting with our Little Language Matters* Solo Business Owner (SBO) lens, we share a little look at the vibe weβve been picking up as the calendar clicked over from Jan to Feb. In short, the vibe has a growing sense of knowing where the business is going. Enjoy.
30 | Two truths and three hopes for (actually) simplifying Solo Business.
Weβve continued to define and refine our part to play by contributing value to the space and place of Solo Business. In our brief catchup, we invite you to listen lightly to find the feels for what we know now and how it will echo across everything from here. Enjoy.
29 | Solo Business Director's End of Year Update
In this conversation we share with you parts of a fellow Solo Business that only has you and your Solo Business front of π§ . Here we share with you a sense of growing knowing of finding oneβs feet in Solo Business through really looking at what we have been reporting, we let slip what we really think of the business mindset frame, and we give a little insight into what is coming up in the new year.
28 | An update during our Solo Business regroup.
The point, the purpose and promise of this conversation is to be just one example. Yes we mention the resources we are working on to grow the normal norm of Solo Business (actually) feeling resourced and resourceful, but like the words we are using here, it has everything and nothing to do with us.
27 | Update from the LLM*'s (Solo) Business Director (Lens)
We bring forward the idea that Solo Business life has the potential to be more practical and play a bigger part by suggesting it is time to retire that outdated pain pointed out in every service sales page that Solo Business life is lonely.
