Dealing with Chaos

Chaos is unavoidable and something that all entrepreneurs come to endure due to the stress of finances, clients, and other factors. Today we discussed some useful tips relating to dealing with chaos and the challenges that accompany it.

First of all, it is important to understand that chaos is not necessarily a bad thing because…

“If you’re not nervous, you’re not going fast enough.”


Everyone needs at least a small amount of chaoticness in their life because if you are calm every second of the day then you are not pushing yourself hard enough. As entrepreneurs, we must learn to manage the chaos in our lives and sometimes even embrace and enjoy it. 

What are some ways that we can cope with chaos?

  • Just start!

It is common to get deadlocked in our own thoughts but it is vital to push forward and keep moving onward as we deal with issues one at a time.

  • Pick your focus

The opposite of chaos is focus. Zero in on the priorities within the chaos, and direct your focus on those. The power of saying no and implementing prioritization can prove to be quite powerful.

  • Delegate responsibilities, not tasks

Attempting to continue pushing through every task can become overwhelming. Delegating responsibilities can allow you to greater focus your attention on what you are presently doing, and better focus on how to effectively resolve any issues.

No matter how stressful your days may become, as chaos continues to develop along your path, it is essential to focus your mindset on priorities that you strive to accomplish as you continue to ignite that entrepreneurial drive to move forward.
