When I'm coaching high-level entrepreneurs who are growing teams I have a phrase I share help them feel comfortable with growing their business “your business is broken and if things go well and always will be".
Far too many entrepreneurs expect their businesses to feel perfect, they beat themselves up over gaps or flaws, and they have challenges when things don't go exactly right. Businesses are meant to be broken, they are constantly shifting and adjusting to growth, market conditions, and things are going well an expanding team.
All of these dynamics can lead to challenges, issues, and constraint that you as the business owner will learn to adjust and move forward. Far too many business owners are trying to build the perfect business. The fact is the only business that is perfect, and doesn't have any problems, is one that is closed. Once you're out of business, there are no problems.
If you pursue a perfect business, you may end up without one. Instead understand that businesses break and each time we close a gap or correct an issue, our businesses get stronger.
