Becci McEvoy shares a personal story about how a small admin mistake led to a significant business challenge and the lessons learned from it.
How one tiny admin mistake turned into a minor business breakdown Season 11, Episode 87: Show Up and Be Heard Today’s episode of the podcast is a solo episode all about how one tiny admin mistake turned into a minor business breakdown… and the lessons it taught me about overwhelm, support, AI, and running a business mostly on your own. What started as me accidentally getting locked out of Asana quickly spiralled into a stressful reminder of just how much mental load so many of us are carrying behind the scenes in business.
