Thank you for being here. Overview A lot of founders are stuck because their identity is still anchored to safety, approval, and \u201cthe responsible choice.\u201d So the goalposts keep moving. The bank balance is never enough, the timing is never right, and the dream stays theoretical. This shows up as overwork, over-functioning, and businesses that look \u201csuccessful\u201d but feel misaligned and unsustainable. \ud83d\udc64 Guest Jenna Harrison The Uncommon Way Life coach for women entrepreneurs (identity, nervous system, and business redesign)   \u26a0\ufe0f Core Problems Discussed  -Why people keep postponing the leap, even when the numbers look \u201cready\u201d -Over-functioning as a learned survival strategy that becomes a business model  -The hidden cost of building a business that does not match your real life   \ud83e\udde0 The Bigger Pattern Dr. LL Sees: Identity Safety Loop When your identity equates safety with external structures (titles, paychecks, \u201cthe right way\u201d), you keep re-negotiating your own goals to avoid the discomfort of change. Across founders, this loop creates a visibility problem too: your message stays cautious, your offers stay diluted, and your decisions stay reversible, which makes trust harder to earn.   \ud83e\udd61 Practical Takeaways  -If you keep adding \u201cjust one more condition,\u201d it is probably an identity issue.  -Overwork can feel like virtue, but it quietly shrinks creativity, clarity, and staying power. -Your business gets easier to explain when your decisions stop hedging and start matching the life you actually want.   \u23f1\ufe0f Timestamps  00:01 Moving to Mallorca and choosing the uncommon path 03:30 The \u201cmoving goalposts\u201d trap (savings, salary, safety) 06:10 Over-functioning and why it stops being sustainable 09:45 The \u201cfishbowl\u201d metaphor for limited possibility thinking 14:50 Going off social media and growing anyway \ud83d\udd16 Who This Episode Is For Small business owners who feel stretched thin Consultants building trust online Solopreneurs who feel unseen or misread   \ud83d\udc49 Learn more about Jenna and the Uncommon Way here: https:\/\/www.theuncommonway.com\/   \u2705 Subscribe for weekly conversations on entrepreneurship \ud83d\udd01 Share this episode with someone who needs to be heard Follow STEERus on social media: YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Midlifesuccess Instagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/steerus Facebook: https:\/\/facebook.com\/steerus LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/steerus #WomenEntrepreneurs #BusinessCoach #EntrepreneurMindset #entrepreneur #smallbusiness ","author_name":"Small Business Stories","author_url":"https:\/\/steerus.io\/","html":"
