Are you sabotaging your success?

Sometimes the biggest barriers in business are the ones we create for ourselves. For example:

• It’s just a business plan.
• It’s just a blog post.
• It’s just a speech.
• It’s just a conference.
• It’s just a tweet up.
• It’s just a vendor.

Here’s the thing about “It’s Just”: When I was marathon training, our short distance runs, the ones sandwiched between the 18 and 20 and 22 milers, were “just 8 miles.” But we still had to run them. And they sucked, because our expectations were awry.

If you think it’s just a routine task, or just another meeting, are you really giving it your best? And what’s the impact on your business, your customers or clients, and your brand?
