Growing your own business can shroud you in a burqa of doubt and fear. You never know what’s going to work and the eternal system of trial and error can send you running for the I quit or the I’m going insane door.

I’ve narrowly escaped both of them since starting our business in 2010.

Just this morning, I happened upon some old images from the beginning of our blog which deeply reflected that I was completely clueless when it came to running and growing a business. I shudder at the messages I was sending out and the time I was wasting in mistakes.

If only I knew back then what I do now. I just wish I had it right from the start, I would have saved thousands in dollars and time. One of the most empowering things about doing B-School last year is those muddy waters no longer linger. The hard work is still there, and the trial and error is still a small part of it (yet now controlled), but I have a very clear path and systems that help me in place.

Overwhelm has gone because I know where to focus, who to delegate to, and the best way to get my message across.

It’s incredible how productive you can be and how great your work will be when you overcome overwhelm and get some clarity in your business.

Marie Forleo has launched her killer free video business training series today. Over the next week she’ll share 3 videos giving her best tips on how to create a business and life you love. (I learned so much from this series last year, and this year it’s been updated)

Today she is breaking down the business confusion into simple, do-able steps that you can use right now to get out of overwhelm and get on the right track.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The Six Pillars to building a highly profitable business online, why big-hearted nice people like us are wired to succeed in this digital era and why it’s critical that you get the online aspect of your business handled right now.
• The major changes happening online over the next 5 -10 years that are important to know about now, before these changes happen.
• What you must know, what you must understand, and the sequence you should follow to do what you love and get paid for it.

Her video series on this is free — but it’s only up for a limited time, so check it out if this kind of thing is up your alley. Check it out here
