The habits that hold you back

Rachel Rogers tells the story of Noah Kagan asking, “Why isn’t your business at $100 million yet?” She didn’t have a good answer.

It’s a thought-provoking question and one I want to ponder (on a bit smaller scale), so I wrote a sticky note and stuck it on the wall above my desk.

“Why aren’t we earning $1M?”

It’s easy to blame the economy, the competition, or Mercury in Retrograde (whatever that means).

It’s much harder to point the finger back at myself and ask, “Why aren’t we earning $1M yet?”

One thing I’ve uncovered—or let’s call it RE-discovered—is that habits are what make or break you, both in business and in life. And I have more than a few bad habits holding me back.

Maybe you do, too. Let’s figure out how to fix them.
