Talk about stimulus overload. Looks like your coach is having seizures

By the way how’s things going for you? Hope you’re having a super season :wink:

No, I don’t use one. Might be interesting to talk to one considering that they’ve made a business about business. It’s meta so it’s cool.

Right now my motivation is to not end up living in a van down by the river.

spoke with someone very successful in this industry this week. Top 1% for sure. He told me he had a business coach and stated Bill Gates does.

I am all for “help”, guidance etc. Seemed a few years back mastermind groups were the big thing.

Know a few local business coaches that are dirt bags.

I have had a few mentors over the years. Searching for some new ones currently. I like having the person to run items past.

I think a lot of successful entrepreneurs seek out guidance from the sidelines.

Football players are hellish good at taking the ball up field but a good coach knows all the right plays to make at all the right times.

I need an unmotivational speaker to follow. Need help flipping the switch to "off’ lately.

I get that’s what some people need.

I just don’t get it, the work is pretty simple, not much changes from year to year. Do you keep changing things up each year?

29

nah, not much changes.

I need to learn to manage my expectations, perception etc better.

yet same time I am always open to new techniques, ideas etc.

Same problems as most of us, seasonal work and labor pool.

Blessed really, just not my style to be content.

No not really. That’s the point. At this point, I feel like I’ve arrived at a plateau in terms of productivity and revenue. As such, I think this is a good year to implement positive and lasting changes to help move my business to the next level.

It will help if you can find one or two that you trust.

I have a few mentors. Very helpful. My guess is your city probably has free mentoring through score and/or SBDC. I use both, also in the business section of our main city library, the librarians are wonderful tools.

There is a similar organisation in my country that matches you with a business mentor. I’ve got a good one.

Sometimes I feel like he’s the only other person who knows how bad actually are!
