| Why You Feel Overwhelmed…. And What to Do About It! July 28th, 2024 by Bill Boyajian |
I run into this all the time. Business owners and managers are at their wits-end, often feeling out of control, mired in detail, or simply overwhelmed with everything they have to do. The problem is almost always a lack of organization. It’s not that you lack desire or motivation to improve things. It’s that you wake up each morning facing an almost impossible set of tasks. This, combined with the surprises and disappointments you’ll learn about with employees, customers, or circumstances each day will make you crazy. If you don’t know where to start getting organized, it’s because you are in the weeds of your business. You can’t set priorities because everything seems to be a priority. But if everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. You need to rise above the minutia and try to understand the real source of your problem. This usually means getting out from under the detail to formulate a plan to deal with chronic disorganization. If you don’t have quality people to delegate responsibility to, you will inevitably find yourself overwhelmed and unproductive in digging out from your hole. I find individuals with the weight of the world on their shoulders without a great person to help them. And even those who have such a person often fail to delegate responsibility. Think of a mouse running on a wheel and never getting anywhere. If you feel like that, you likely need someone speaking in your ear and helping you get out from under the turmoil. If you need that help, give me a call or drop me a line and I’ll give you some time.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
