When we first start our businesses we’re excited about the impact we’ll have, the freedom to make our own schedules and work on what we love. Often we’re also a little naive about what it’s going to take to get that business to be successful. We end up working more than we ever did before and at the end of the day, the month, the year, we find that we worked REALLY hard but the size of our bank accounts and the size of our impact isn’t where we wanted it to be.
As we pour ourselves into making our businesses grow we fall out of love with the thing we were so passionate about and the cause for this almost always has its root in four main reasons: complexity, misalignment, lack of clarity and burnout.
In Episode 61 of The Lean Out Your Business Podcast, Host Crista Grasso, walks you through how to recognize these four main sources in your own life/business and then shows you how the four pillars of The Lean Out Method: context, clarity, commitment and Kaizen can help you fall back in love with your life and your business again.
