How do you eat an elephant?

Updated: Sep 19, 2024




As a small business owner, you may face the challenge of "overload paralysis" from having too much on your plate at one time. Not enough hours in the day, too many emergencies that need immediate attention, hundreds or thousands of unopened emails, and everyone from employees to vendors to customers needing just a minute of your time. It can be overwhelming.


When you find yourself at that point, remember this simple, metaphorical question: How do you eat an elephant?


The only answer is: one bite at a time. It may take a lot of bites, but you cannot eat the elephant whole, and the more you stress about how big the elephant is or how to eat the elephant faster, you are missing out on the few bites you could have taken with that same time and energy.


You are human and can only do so much. Focus on one thing at a time...bite, chew, swallow...next bite.


Overload paralysis is common, and is a good sign that an SBO coach could add great value to your business journey - someone who's been where you are and can help bring focus, clarity and support where needed.
