Ever been on a call with someone who just starts talking… and talking… and talking?
Before you’ve even said “Hey, how’s it going?” they’re already five minutes into a full-blown TED Talk about everything happening in their life, business, and maybe even what they had for lunch.
Look, I get it. Sometimes you just need someone to listen. And trust me, I can ADHD my way through a conversation with the best of them.
But here’s the real question: Is rattling on actually helping you?
Is it moving the needle in your business?
Or are you just venting because it feels productive?
Are You Looking for Help or Just a Sounding Board?
A coach’s job isn’t just to nod along and say “Wow, that’s tough.” (That’s what best friends and overpriced therapy sessions are for.)
A coach is here to help you move past what you (think) is standing in your way.
And let me tell you a little secret from years of coaching…
Most of the time, there aren’t 27 different problems.
There are 1 or 2 big ones with a whole lot of symptoms.
You don’t need to fix everything. You just need to find the real problem. And when you do? The symptoms magically start disappearing.
So Here’s Your Challenge:
Next time you feel overwhelmed and tempted to go on a verbal spiral about everything that’s wrong in your business, pause and ask yourself:
👉 What’s the real problem here?
Not the surface stuff. Not the excuses. The root cause.
Find it. Fix it. And watch the chaos start to clear up.
P.S. If you’re ready for real progress (not just a vent session), that’s exactly why I created The Extraordinary Entrepreneur Community. It’s where action-takers come to cut through the noise and actually grow their businesses.
