The Truth About Being Scattered in Your Business
If you have been feeling scattered in your business lately, let me say something most business coaches won’t.
There is nothing wrong with you.
You are not broken.
You are not lazy. Far from it actually.
You are definitely not inconsistent.
You are a smart, creative, multi-passionate entrepreneur…
And your scattered moments actually have a very real explanation.
Let’s talk about it, because once you understand this, your business becomes 10x easier to run.
What “Scattered” Actually Means
Most people think being scattered means:
You lack discipline
You are bad at follow-through
You don’t want it badly enough
NOPE!!!!
Here’s the truth...
Being scattered is not a mindset failure. PERIOD.
It’s not laziness.
It’s a nervous system protection pattern.
When your brain and body feel unclear or unsafe..
They do what they’re designed to do.
They protect you by shutting down your ability to make sense of it all and ability to focus.
This is not personal.
This is physiology.
This is capacity.
This is allowing.
Your system won’t let you move forward until it believes the path is safe, stable and structured from the inside out.
And this leads us directly into the real root cause…
The Hidden Reason You Are Scattered
Let’s be honest!
Most entrepreneurs are not running their business from a strategic plan.
They are running it from their head.
That is the quickest path to staying in spin mode.
Here’s what actually creates “scattered”:
No visual business-building plan!!!
If I asked you, “what are you working toward this week?”
Would you open up a clear plan?
Or would you start listing 10 things from memory?
For most? They are playing ping-pong in their business. Bouncing from idea to idea with no structure that holds it together.
No EXTERNAL structure.
Your brain is NOT meant to hold all your ideas.
If you are running your business from your head, I promise you…
The overwhelm is not your fault. It’s your internal system being overloaded.
No END-POINT in sight.
If your brain can’t SEE where the work leads, it won’t commit the energy to it. PEROID. (Ask me how I know.)
NO CLEAR REWARD
Your nervous system is wired to pursue, reward, not tasks and more tasks. Endlessly.
If the reward is unclear, the system shuts down motivation.
When I worked at the bank, we had $3,000 potentially bonuses to achieve every month. Guess what? I hit them every single time, because I knew the work was not for nothing.
Your brain is the same way.
The Entrepreneur Blind Spot
Here’s the piece almost EVERY entrepreneur misses.
Your strategic vision is living in your head, not in a structured system.
Meaning…
You can't see the whole picture (vision).
Your brain can’t connect the pieces.
Your body can’t relax into execution.
Your creativity keeps firing with no container to hold it all.
This is why you are craving to map out your vision, structure it and a strong urge for clarity. Good news when you do your nervous system will experience the soothing it needs to then move onto the next steps.
They bring your internal vision into an external roadmap your brain can trust.
What Creates Clarity & Momentum
This is where everything changes.
✨1. Brain Dumping
This is the #1 most overlooked step in business.
The clarity you desperately want can’t come while your brain is holding everything hostage. 🤣 Ouch. I know, but it’s the truth.
GET. IT. OUT.
Write it down.
Dump It all. Do not try to sort it either.
Ideas, tasks, offers, content. Everything.
GET. IT. OUT.
This one act alone decreases overwhelm dramatically.
✨2. Mapping
Once it’s out of your head, you can SEE it.
Mapping reduces idea overload because you can understand:
When you’ll use each idea
How your ideas connect
Where each idea fits
What belongs now vs later.
Multi-passionate entrepreneurs don’t need to “pick one thing”.
They need a pathway that uses everything, but not all at one.
✨3. Prioritizing (without killing your creativity)
I will never tell you to ditch an idea.
You will never hear:
“Drop this.”
“Pick on offer.”
“Choose one niche.”
Not on my watch.
In my world, we don’t kill your ideas. We sequence them.
Prioritizing is not saying “No”.
It’s choosing WHEN each idea gets used.
✨4. Visual Reward
Your business needs its own version of that $3,000 bonus.
A reward anchors your nervous system and gives purpose to the work.
When your brain knows the reward, your body unlocks the capacity.
Motivation increases.
Consistency becomes natural. Not forced.
Micro Action Steps
If you want clarity and momentum, start here:
Brain dump, seriously. You are not doing this enough. (yes, that was the mom voice coming out of me. 🤣)
Identify one capacity or allowing pattern. What’s the “freeze point” in your business?
Write your weekly focus. Then test your body for capacity. Your body will tell you what’s aligned and what’s too much. It bypasses the overthinking and taps into what’s actually doable.
Anchor your business-building efforts with a reward. Make the work meaningful again.
BOLD ACTION (if you feel called): Set up a centralized Biz Hub. The system that holds ALL your ideas, offers, tasks, and strategy outside your head.
If you want help creating the structure, clarity and nervous-system support that lets your ideas finally work together (instead of compete, comment CLARITY inside that message icon to the right.
Your business doesn’t need more hustle.
It needs a map your brain trusts and a structure your body needs to feel safe inside when doing your business actions.
Let’s bring your business vision to life together.
