Feeling Lost in Your Business? Here’s How to Reconnect to Your Vision and Find Your Way Forward
Have you ever found yourself feeling completely lost in your business?
You’ve got a million tabs open in your brain, too many ideas, a dozen unfinished projects, and a constant stream of advice from every direction. You start wondering: Where am I actually going with all this?
If that sounds familiar, I want you to know - you’re not alone.
Whether you’re just starting out or years into running your business, there are seasons when everything feels noisy, scattered, and overwhelming. And in those moments, one of the most powerful things you can do is… pause. Breathe. And gently reconnect to your vision.
The Problem with Outside Advice
There’s no shortage of strategies, shoulds, and well-meaning tips out there. And while some of it can be helpful, it can also drown out your inner voice - the one that actually knows what you want to build.
You might find yourself signing up for every freebie, switching strategies every week, or endlessly scrolling for inspiration (been there). But all of that can pull you further away from the business you actually want to create.
Sometimes, it’s not about doing more. It’s about getting clear on why you’re doing any of it in the first place.
Why Clarity Matters (and Why It’s Okay if You Don’t Have It Yet)
When I start to notice signs of overwhelm - when everything feels like too much and I’m pulled in all directions - I know it’s time to come back to my vision.
But here's the thing: your vision doesn’t have to be some perfect 10-year plan. It can start small.
Ask yourself:
How do I want to feel in my workday?
Who do I love supporting?
What kind of life do I want my business to support?
Even a vague sense of direction is better than none. Think of it like travelling - if you don’t know where you’re going, it’s easy to end up in a dozen places that don’t really feel right. But once you have even a small idea of your destination, it becomes easier to say no to distractions and yes to alignment.
When Self-Doubt Creeps In
It’s natural to feel unsure. Imposter syndrome, self-doubt, comparison - these are all part of the journey. And often, they show up strongest when we’ve lost sight of our own path.
That’s why I always come back to one gentle question:
👉 What do I actually want?
Not what I should want. Not what everyone else is doing. Just… what feels true for me?
Gentle Prompts to Reconnect
If you’re feeling lost, here are a few prompts that might help you slow down and reconnect:
What does success look like for me?
What kind of support would help me right now?
How do I want to feel in 6 months? In one year?
What parts of my business bring me joy - and which parts feel heavy?
Let yourself explore, without pressure to have it all figured out. Follow the breadcrumbs. Try things out. And give yourself full permission to change direction as you grow.
Conclusion
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Your vision can (and probably will) evolve. But the more you pause to listen, the easier it becomes to create a business that actually supports you - your energy, your wellbeing, your life.
So if you’re feeling lost right now, let this be your gentle nudge: come back to yourself. You already know more than you think.
