Whack-A-Mole
Constantly working in your business is a trap. It’s a trap because it feels like you’re making headway. When you whack the moles and they are all down, you get a win. You’re ahead of the next thing that pops up.
The hammer is in ready position and you lick your lips in anticipation… Two moles pop up. Whack! Whack! It feels so good to smash them back down. It feels like you’re in control. Like you’re in charge. You’re the fastest reactor to subdue what comes your way. Congrats.
Being a world class responder pays a decent wage. The cost of being a world class mole-whacker is fatigue and limited growth.
If you’re tired of whacking moles, teach your business to whack them so you can have the clarity to see the big picture and make your mark.
