{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Messy Truth About Being a Capable Business Owner | #194","description":"Smart people have a unique talent.\n\nWe can see opportunities everywhere, absorb huge amounts of information, understand multiple sides of an argument, and build a very convincing case for almost anything.\n\nUseful? Absolutely.\n\nBut it can also create some unexpected problems.\n\nIn this episode, I explore why capable business owners often end up making decisions that look a little strange from the outside. We look at overcomplicating simple problems, confusing information with progress, getting distracted by opportunities, trying to solve everything ourselves, and attaching too much of our identity to being the person who can always figure things out.\n\nBecause sometimes the very things that make us good at what we do can make business harder than it needs to be.\n\nIn this episode:\n\n• Why simple solutions can feel uncomfortable when you're used to solving complex problems\n• The difference between gathering information and actually making progress\n• How capable people can end up arguing both sides of every decision\n• Why opportunities can become distractions\n• The hidden cost of always being the person who figures everything out\n• How intelligence can sometimes disguise fear, avoidance, or indecision\n• Why boring basics often outperform clever solutions\n• The trap of turning every interest into a potential business idea\n• How being \"the capable one\" can become part of your identity\n• What happens when you stop trying to solve everything yourself\n\n📙 Read my book, Life in Business\nhttps://libbylangley.com/book\n🔧 Work with me\nhttps://libbylangley.com\n📩 Join my email list\nhttps://libbylangley.com/email","author_name":"Messy Business - with Libby Langley","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5091475-messy-business-with-libby-langley","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43158415/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
