Have you ever noticed that sometimes it’s incredibly hard to see the “logic” of our own situation, because our emotions get in the way?
I have, too. And I’ve also seen that this can lead to working long hours, struggling and stressing out, maybe even losing your business or just scraping by, when your success could be soaring instead.
I recently came across a great story in the article “You’re Better Off Working at McDonald’s Than Working in Your Business” that speaks to this.
Here are four key lessons from this article. These are lessons that I see business leaders stumble with and sabotage themselves, and their businesses, all the time:
1. Think long-term with your goals
2. Create the right systems to leverage your resources
3. Investing both time and money in your growth as a business leader are critical, but the order of importance between the two changes as your business changes. Learn to see the difference
4. Don’t let your emotions – pride, guilt, embarrassment, fear, uncertainty, etc. – get in the way of working with a professional with an outside perspective
