How To Find Out If You’re Working In Or On Your Business
Have you ever found yourself staring at a spreadsheet, trying to make sense of the numbers to make a decision, but too tired to do a deep dive?
As a business leader, you may often find yourself short on time, energy, and attention for the bigger, more strategic things.
That’s because there’s a difference between working IN your business and ON it.
Knowing this subtle but important difference is essential because it will help you identify your focus and guide you toward strategic improvement.
Watch this quick video to know whether you work in or on your business.
In essence, working IN your business means that you:
Involve yourself in the daily operational tasks
Solve problems immediately instead of letting your team do so
Have hands-on involvement in routine activities
On the other hand, working ON your business entails:
Strategic planning
Having long-term vision and goals
Focusing on business growth and development strategies
Knowing the difference paves the way for your business to succeed.
Remember: Be a jet, not a helicopter.
