Tim Frey argues that business owners facing personal crises often can't control what's happening, so they try to regain control by fixing things at work instead, making problems worse. The question: how do you know when you're creating business problems just to feel in control?
When you run a business is going to hit the fan. And it's going to hit the fan a lot, actually. There's always something. Someone's sick, someone had a car crash, you know, your house got flooded. Most people don't really have a plan to actually manage themselves when it hits the fan. A couple of weeks ago, something personal came up for me, and something is making us feel out of control. We're feeling scared, we're feeling worried. Then our natural tendency is to want to fix something, and we want to control the crisis. And sometimes, if it's. In my case, it was personal and I couldn't control the crisis. And so I decided that I must fix something in the business instead. How would you recognize that? Maybe I'm making this harder than has to be, or I'm creating problems.
