Stop running on auto-pilot.
I see it all the time: People living their lives like robots. Mindlessly going about their days, doing the same thing on repeat without ever taking a pause and re-evaluating.
People do it in their businesses. When shit hits the fan, I see so many business people say, "Well we always did it that way!". As if that's a defense! It's not. It's a condemnation. If you can't regularly re-evaluate processes, strategies, approaches -- then you're just hiding from something and probably something you don't want to face. This doesn't mean that you constantly wallow in self-doubt or insecurity. It means that you have enough confidence in yourself and your team to routinely re-evaluate your methods and seek to improve.
For my part, I consider myself a better person and business owner than I was two weeks ago, two months ago. The me of today is almost embarrassed by the me of back then. This requires more than just looking at your weaknesses. It requires looking at your strengths and improving on those.
It works the same way in our personal lives. Making progress, happiness, becoming the best version of ourselves -- All of these things require regular reflection.
The willingness to re-evaluate is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength.
