When I was a kid, I spent time with my great‑grandmother, a woman born in the late 1800s who embodied grit long before we had a word for it. She was an only child raised by her father. Her mother died when she was three days old. She never learned to drive a car, yet she ran a farm, raised two children, and kept everything moving while her husband was away serving as the county sheriff. She was practical to her core, no frills, no nonsense, no time for dramatics. She had this one expression that always made me pause. Whenever someone was making life harder than it needed to be, she’d shake her head and say, “Oh, they’d strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.” As a child, I didn’t fully understand it. As an adult, especially as an entrepreneur, I understand it all too well. That phrase came back to me this week in a conversation about how, as solopreneurs, we obsessively focus on minor, trivial details while completely overlooking or ignoring the major, significant issues. We’ll spend hours tweaking a color on a graphic, rewriting a sentence for the tenth time, or researching tools we may never actually use, all while avoiding the bigger decisions that would actually move our work forward. It’s a kind of self‑protection disguised as productivity. My great‑grandmother didn’t have the luxury of that kind of avoidance. She tended to what mattered because life demanded it. And while our lives look very different today, the wisdom still holds: clarity comes from choosing what deserves our energy, not from perfecting what doesn’t. So here’s what I’m sitting with: 🪰 Where am I obsessing over gnats in my business? 🐪 What camels have I been quietly ignoring? I’d love to hear what it brings up for you.
