It’s Natural to Blame Others
You probably believe the cause of this chaos is that your business is unique or faces a unique set of obstacles, youโre developing a new market, or you donโt have the resources to operate like a more established business. It is common for us entrepreneurs to blame the chaos on others, the lack of money, the lack of resources, the lack of a defined market, or one of the many other excuses for not fixing the chaos. When you believe passionately in your idea and chaos ensues, itโs easy to blame everyone and everything else.

The Implications Of Not Starting With You
- Why is there too much to do?ย Because you need to set the priorities and align your resources to those priorities.
- Why do you lack financial resources?ย Because you need to raise enough money to keep the company properly funded.
- Why do you lack human resources?ย Because you need to raise the capital necessary to build the right team.
- Why do you not have established priorities?ย Because you need to understand how a company that has to do everything, can still prioritize one thing over another.
- Why do internal and external constituents lack clarity?ย Because you need to avoid communicating in a way that is confusing and verbose.
- Why are you frustrated with existing resources?ย Because you need to understand their role, establish their job, and align their skills to the appropriate tasks.
- Why do you make reactive and emotional decisions?ย Because you are reactive and emotional.
- Why is the management of your company reactive?ย Because you need to build a plan.
Itโs tough, but once you realize the power of changing your perspective, the challenge becomes exciting, and the responsibility becomes liberating and not so different from the satisfaction you feel being responsible for inventing a great idea or trendsetting product.
