If you chose to be an entrepreneur, maybe it was partly to be able to handle your IBS symptoms more easily than in a job.
However, you are probably finding that your IBS is holding you back from creating your dream business the way you want it. Or getting enough clients.
IBS is probably impacting your bottom line.
Here are the 3 top complaints I hear from entrepreneurs with IBS, and what you can do to turn them around.
I waste SO much time on IBS
The number one complaint I hear from entrepreneurs with IBS is that it takes up SO much of their time.
Many tell me that they have a hard time getting started in the morning. Time they would prefer to spend on building or developing their business.
Then they are already behind, and forever trying to catch up.
If this is you, roughly how much time are you spending each week on IBS?
Instead of “wasting” this time, why not invest a little extra time and learn how to durably beat IBS symptoms.
And then enjoy the ROI of all the time you have now freed up, time that you can use on business, or on other meaningful things for yourself.
I never know how I’m going to feel
As an entrepreneur, there are important activities you have to regularly show up for to keep your business going. And while you can dodge round your IBS symptoms to do this, it takes so much more mental effort and can keep you in an anxious, frustrated state.
And that’s not how you wanted your business to feel when you started it, was it?
You’re supposed to feel clear, calm and actually enjoy what you do. Not have that sinking feeling that you can’t be relied on, and that your business is not as solid as you would like.
What was your vision when you started out as an entrepreneur?
Just imagine how your business could feel and look like if you didn’t have IBS to deal with.
IBS is sapping my confidence
If you relate, you are not alone. AND this is likely affecting your bottom line. Your clients may not know you have IBS. But they do notice when you go hot and cold on them. Or if you keep changing plans.
They can take this as a lack of interest in them on your behalf. Of that you are not really reliable. If only they knew…!
The best way to improve your confidence? It’s probably to not have to deal with IBS symptoms like you are right now. It’s the best way I know of to feel more in control of your life – and business.
I don’t feel satisfied as an entrepreneur
One of the reasons you don’t feel satisfied is probably that you don’t feel like you are doing your best work.
It is already challenging being an entrepreneur.
There are ups and downs in cashflow, things don’t always go according to plan. It is a constant journey of learning, failing, winning, and growth.
But here’s the thing.
If your body is already having trouble coping with IBS, you just don’t have the bandwith you need to “feel the fear and do it anyway.” In fact, as an entrepreneur, it is likely that this is one of your biggest IBS triggers.
Are you going to continue to “muddle through”?
Or will you invest in reversing your IBS, and become the very capable entrepreneur you really are?
