86: Beware of the ‘Good Enough’ Plateau

When ‘the Good’ Becomes ‘the Enemy of Great’

What’s up everybody, welcome to Episode 86. Today I’ve got a powerful message especially for those of you who are feeling stuck!  It’s called “Beware of the ‘Good Enough’ Plateau.”

Here is the thing - some of us, especially when we’ve already experienced a bit of success in our business, tend to stay in the same ol’ place.  Over and over again, we do the same things, and they produce the same ol’ results.

You need to know, this is a MAJOR reason why most leaders are stuck in their business. Maybe we just can’t seem to get to that next level.  Or our income seems to stay the same month-over-month-over month.

Externally, we look successful to our family and friends, but inside we know that there’s more to accomplish in your life and business.  But we’re so stuck…

Unfortunately, we get to a certain ‘success’ point in building our business and then ego starts to creep in.  We become unwilling to try new things. We tend to stop venturing into new ways of conducting our business that will grow ourselves personally and our team, too.

This is when ‘the good’ becomes ‘the enemy of great.’

 

Set Aside Your Ego and Reinvent Yourself

If you want your business to build a legacy and impact others, then you need to learn to stretch yourself, venture into new areas, and take the risk of not looking good from the people around you.

So, join me in this episode as I share my own story.  Learn how you can reinvent yourself!  Scare yourself!  Challenge yourself!  -- and grow your business along the way.
