About this listen
Building a business is hard enough. Entrepreneurship while dealing with a chronic illness or condition is even harder. Chronic Profit: Building Your Small Business While Managing Persistent Pain shares the story of how one entrepreneur sought freedom from cubicle life along with the flexibility to be a parent and a business owner, and learned to extend herself enough grace and compassion to excel in business while still taking care of herself.
This book covers business-building strategies that will work for any entrepreneur, such as the importance of building foundations and systems; why standardizing and simplifying offerings is something we often don’t do enough; and how to shift your perspective and re-frame common business problems. Another important topic, especially for business people dealing with chronic pain, is how to refuel and do self-care, and as author Alison Tedford shares, that can mean a lot more than taking bubble baths - it may involve developing a coping toolbox full of proven tools such as mindfulness, gratitude practices, and more.
Often, we struggle when asking for help but Tedford also discusses how to do that effectively, and leaves the listener feeling there’s hope and that anyone can find joy in the journey of creating their own sustainable business while managing diverse issues and persistent pain.

Understand the following – you are not weak, you are not gullible, and you’re not easily influenced. Training your mind does require a conscious separation from your current routine but once you open your eyes, you’ll never go back.

You run a business. And running a business is hard. The burden of responsibility, the weight of stress, and the loneliness of running your business are a far cry from your friends who work salaried jobs. The path of least resistance is to let the stress and isolation of starting, running, and growing a business infiltrate most aspects of your life. Over and over, we've watched our fellow entrepreneurs succumb to the mental toll and chaos of running a business. We've also experienced it firsthand as we've launched and grown our own businesses.

Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success - it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer. Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition. The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill - it's a habit available to everyone.

In Get Over “I Got It,” author and podcast host Elayne Fluker shows you that this isolated mindset is the reason you are overwhelmed, depressed, and even unfulfilled.

Surprised me with how much I gained from listening
I am am older business owner, but I don’t suffer from chronic pain. My daughter suggested I listen to this thinking it would be useful. And it was! As I move toward the end of my business years, I am making many of the same choices required by those living with chronic pain- where to put my efforts and time, how to not feel guilty about delegating, how to find a balance between work and time for me( and all my Dr appts that come with aging). In fact I think any business owner can benefit from listening. I enjoyed the low-key narration with subtle changes to let me know when the author was quoting others. I am glad I listened to my daughter!
