Do any of these apply to you?
If you’re nodding your head yes to any of these, you could use our “Build a Culture of Growth” workbook.
Look at yourself–see if you notice contradictory attitudes like these:
On the one hand . . . On the other hand . . .
I can’t get all my work done.
I’m not hiring another employee.
I must learn how to manage my time better.
I can’t find the time to make the needed changes in how I use my time.
We’ve got to stay on budget.
I can’t resist making last minute design changes.
We’ve got to watch costs.
I can’t find the time to review the financials regularly.
Low margins are killing us.
I can’t bring myself to raise prices.
I’ve got to take more time away from the business.
I can’t leave my managers alone. I don’t totally trust them.
I need more skilled employees.
I’m afraid I’ll just train my own competition. I’m afraid I won’t have enough work to keep them busy.
I need more sales.
Marketing scares me. I wish customers would just come.
I get so tangled up in day-to-day operations that I lose sight of my vision.
I doubt the value of having a stratrgic plan.
I want to ease up and work fewer hours.
I can’t change my belief that hard work is necessary.
