Hi! 👋 😃

We are Kymm Nelsen and Dianna Bensch, thought partners and advisors to business owners for over 25 years and creators of this assessment.

Based on the information you’ve shared and the little we know about you and your situation, the overwhelm limitation holding you back is what’s known as the “Swamped”.

Here's what that means:

As someone who falls into the Swamped category...

You often feel like you’re drowning in the demands of running the business.

There are some indicators that can confirm you belong to this category, including feeling stressed and anxious about the ever-growing list of tasks, dropping the ball on key administrative tasks such as doing bookkeeping and filing taxes, having difficulty saying no to additional commitments.

You might have a tendency to procrastinate or avoid important tasks due to feeling maxed out.

A Common Mistake Swamped Make...

Instead of delegating tasks or seeking support, you may believe that you have to handle everything on your own. You might even feel alone and lonely in the solitude of busyness.

This can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and inability to grow past ‘just surviving’ in your business.

If left unchecked, this ongoing overwhelm can escalate into a more extreme problem where you may experience chronic stress, health issues, and a decline in the overall quality of your work…. and most certainly your joy.

It can negatively impact your well-being and hinder your ability to make clear and strategic decisions for your business.
It’s crucial to delegate tasks to others who can help lighten your workload and to prioritize your own well-being.

By addressing overwhelm head-on and implementing effective time management strategies, you can regain control over your business and find more balance in your life.

Otherwise, you risk remaining stuck in a cycle of endless planning and missed opportunities.

Here's what you can do about it...

As a leader with a Swamped overwhelm limitation type, the sheer volume of your responsibilities can make each day feel like you’re climbing an insurmountable peak. It’s essential that you cultivate an environment where clarity cuts through the chaos, and where consistent priorities guide your day-to-day actions.

First, in the face of overwhelming demands, the key to regaining control is to prioritize effectively. Start by separating your tasks into distinct categories based on urgency first. What needs immediate attention and what can wait? And of those, which actions will drive your business forward and which are less consequential? This is not just about managing your time; it’s about making strategic choices that enhance your workday. This approach will ensure that you’re always tackling the tasks that have the greatest impact.

This methodical approach can alleviate the feeling that you’re in constant catch-up mode. Prioritization gives you the needed ‘blinders’ that enable you to steer through the multitude of daily demands with clarity and confidence.

As you become more adept at identifying and focusing on what truly matters, you’ll notice a shift from chaos to control. Each day will feel more rewarding and productive, and you’ll see an acceleration in your business success.

Your Next Step is...

The second piece of the puzzle is delegation...

Delegation is the thread that strengthens the fabric of a well- organized leader. By distributing responsibilities, you enable your team to share the weight of tasks. You increase productivity without adding more to your plate. Watch your business propel forward when you leverage collective effort!

This approach to overcoming overwhelm is not about quick fixes; it’s about a steady focus on developing your leadership style in a way that values balance and clear direction. It’s about having the confidence to move forward with purpose, without being hindered by an excessive workload.
