Attention to Detail

It is inconceivable to entrepreneurs that a team member would send a document or presentation to us without giving it the same attention to detail as we would -every single line being perfect. We keep saying to ourselves, “How could they not proofread it?” or “Why couldn’t they do the little extra research?” The entrepreneur is willing to leave no stone unturned, to proofread a document at midnight when we have already been working for fourteen hours and to redo a presentation despite spending hours on it.

“Not everyone has what it takes to bring the energy to create something from nothing.” 

No One Cares As Much As You Do

The sooner we accept that there is no one out there who cares as much as we  do, the better off we will be. It is our perspective that is off, not theirs. This flawed perspective can be detrimental to team members, and other resources, who are working hard, and still criticized for not being committed. Telling someone who has just worked a long day or a weekend that they aren’t committed enough is a great way to turn them into an ex-employee. Our entrepreneurial passion can blind us to negative and inefficient perspectives, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be proud of our passion. We just need to recognize how it works and how it affects others.
