Eye Opening Insights:

 

[00:20:23] “I've been in conversation with people that are so married to a business model that is not working. nd it's like, well, how is this serving you to be so married to this model? It's like not working anymore. And I think that we get stuck in our ways. Like we get so stuck in a pattern of like, well, this worked at one point, this serve at one point, so I gotta do it forever and now I gotta double down on it even though it's not telling you to do that. You know, just even creating the space for it to be okay to shift. Okay to change your mind. Okay to think differently about something, or think differently about how you solve that problem can really be such a beneficial service for people, and I've even tried to incorporate this quarterly into my own business.”

 

[00:22:35] “I saw so many businesses through the pandemic that sort of looked and said, I have to rethink, uh, the direction that I'm going. That, uh, mm-hmm. , you know, one particular example, it's, it's also difficult to say because what we do is confidential, so it's difficult to, divulge any particular, but I have seen, you know, a couple different, uh, local manufacturing companies, second stage business, Who have had to recognize, uh, owners and founders who, who had to recognize that it was their time to sort of move out of the business to, to retire, to transition. That takes a personal humility and to be able to say, you know, this is where this business is going. I've seen some businesses where, uh, where folks have held on when they shouldn't have and, and it does damage to the business. And then I've seen some businesses where they have recognized that, and that has, has led to a much smoother transition.”

 

[00:24:33] “My friend Mindy says there's an unmistakable power in having that time to reflect and then making the determination to shift the business focus. So she's also experienced this firsthand herself over the past 18 months. So it's, it's so true like that, that power of reflection, but really what you're also providing is the power of some objectivity.”
