Worry Your Way to Success

Normally we advise people to stop worrying. But some people just can’t do it.

In fact, there are people who are only happy when they’re worrying.

If you fit into one of these two categories, this post is for you. We’re going to give you three things to worry about.

Worry about what you can control

You can’t control the economy. So worry about your personal economy.

You can’t control your spouse or your kids. Worry about how much love you give them.

You can’t control what happens to you. So worry about how you respond.

So stop worrying about anything and everything you can’t control. And start worrying about what you can control.

Worry only about the next level of success

If you’re unemployed, don’t worry about becoming the CEO. Worry about getting a job.

If you just started a business, don’t worry about selling out for millions. Worry about reaching break-even.

You know what it will take to get you to the next level. Worry about the things you need to do to get you there. Don’t worry about anything else.

Don’t worry about BIGG success. Worry about your next success.

You will never achieve the ultimate if you don’t focus exclusively on the next level.

Worry about not getting it done

Don’t worry about all the things that could happen. Worry about what you’re making happen.

Don’t worry if all doesn’t go as planned. Worry about how you will get back on plan.

BIGG success is life on your own terms. If worrying makes you happy, then worry away in a focused way. Even worrywarts can reach BIGG success.

At least that’s what we think. What do you think? Can you worry your way to success?

The Secret of Entrepreneurial Leadership

controlEntrepreneurs like to be in control. Unfortunately, as we all learn one way or another, you can’t control everything.

One thing you can’t control is your people. The more you try to control them, the more they resist. The more they resist, the more they resent you. So stop trying to control them.

Another thing you can’t do is motivate your people. People do things for their own reasons, not yours.

So the secret of entrepreneurial leadership isn’t in motivating them. It’s in discovering what motivates each of them individually and then helping them see how it fits with your vision for your business.

Once they see that, you’ll have a motivated employee that you don’t need to control!
