The Quiet Chaos

March 20, 2026

There’s a quiet chaos going on in my mind. It’s probably happening to you as well. Are you having trouble thinking? Do you experience what some people call brain fog? Maybe there is a lot of noise going on in your mind. These problems are likely all one problem. It can disrupt your ability to make decisions and can destroy your ability to be creative and it can put an end to your critical thinking ability. Why is that a problem? If you don’t get it under control your output will come to a grinding halt. You will find yourself stuck. And being stuck is probably the biggest roadblock entrepreneurs face. What’s worse is they almost never know the cause because there can be many, many different causes. That’s one of the reasons coaches and communities are two of the most important tools you can have in your entrepreneur toolbox.

What Is It?

So what is the quiet chaos? It’s the activity that seems to be constantly going on in your mind. Our minds get so much input that the noise is continual and deafening. It continues even after you shut everything down. The next time the opportunity presents itself ask someone who grew up in the 70’s or 80’s (like me) what it was like to not have that noise. There were no cell phones, no Internet, and no streaming services. And prior to about 1978 there were no personal computers that the average person could afford to buy. Our minds were clear and quiet. Well, mostly.

The quiet chaos impedes creativity. And creativity is crucial to every entrepreneur and to your financial momentum. Even though you might think you are not creative everyone is to some extent, especially entrepreneurs.

A Solution

We need quiet time. We need to sit and think without seeing or doing. No screens or phones. Just you and your own mind. You and your spouse having a quiet conversation. When you get rid of the noise, when that chaos that only you can hear in your own mind starts to fade, ideas will come. Decisions will become easier. Logic will return. Thinking will become clear.

How do you do that? One simple thing. Sit in silence. Let the noise disappear. Relax. Think.

For me it means sitting outside on our patio and looking at the stars. We hear mostly the sounds of nature and each other. No electronic noise. Occasionally we get the sounds of other people or a passing car. But that’s ok. It’s not something that requires our attention. One full hour of sitting and thinking and having quiet conversations.

So tonight find your spot. In a quiet room or somewhere outside where you can hear the birds and crickets. Sit. Think.

See you next week.

Let me know if this helped you in any way. I would love to hear from you.

That's it for this time. See you next week!
