Last week's episode covered psychology, the story running underneath everything you do in business. This week we move to capacity, and it might be the pillar that gets skipped past more than any other, because it doesn't sound as impressive as strategy.
Capacity is the actual fuel in the tank, energy, time, nervous system regulation, sleep, the physical and emotional bandwidth you have available on any given day. You can have exactly the right psychology and still hit a wall, because the tank itself is empty.
This episode brings together Emily Williams on the capacity to receive rather than only the capacity to work, and four of Lucy's own solo episodes on overwhelm, sleep, the high performance paradox, and the simple fix that cuts both overheads and overwhelm in one move.
What you'll hear in this episode:
If this week has you noticing where your own capacity is stretched thin, try this diagnostic - “How RITCH is Your Life?", built for exactly that kind of noticing.
And if you're ready to build proper capacity into how your business runs, eSCHOOL's founding member rate is open at £37 a month, or £297 for the year. Check it out
