A very talented entrepreneur I saw recently said, "Business owners all have some pain -- some more than others". I knew that. What he said next was surprising. "Most of them don't have antibiotics -- they have an anesthetic." What's your anesthetic? Here are some favorites:
- Try not to think about it -- Keeping yourself "heads-down" working in the business will keep the real pain off your mind
- Distract yourself with something else -- usually something mundane or routine
- Blame someone or something
- Make excuses
- Compromise your own goals -- just settle for less
- A different perspective
- A different strategy - stop doing the same things that haven't worked so far
- A different person working on the problem
