Your business should provide a lifestyle, not a life sentence!

You have heard me say that before, but I don’t think I told you WHY I said it. It is personal. Looking back over my business ownership career, it’s becoming more and more obvious to me how much my business owned me.

Some people say it was because I didn’t have it systematized, or I didn’t have the right people on the bus, or they weren’t in the right seats, or that I have the wrong people (Jim Collins, Good to Great).

But it was simpler and more complex than that. It was my mind set!

Simpler because that identifies the problem, and more complex because now you are getting into a journey on “why you do, what you do, when you do it.”

In my upcoming book, which will be out in August, I address this exact issue. You will start to understand why I continually talk about building a First Class company. Because if your company is First Class, you will own your company, instead of it owning you.
