5 Crazy Habits That Will Destroy Your Business
Find out about 9 common behaviors we all do at times but can ruin our businesses.
Being Attracted By The Illusion of Progress Rather Than Progress Itself:
Did you ever notice that when you start a new business you work extremely hard on logos, business cards, naming, slogans, and the rest of the “cool stuff”?
Cover images, profile pictures, catalogs…
…why does this happen?
Well, these are things that reward you with a lot of dopamine with relatively low effort because they seem like progress!
Did they get you a sale though?
There are tons of things that give you the illusion of progress but don’t actually do much — and these are usually the cool things to do.
You are often more concerned about the company looking cool or your business card giving you status and less concerned about getting your first sales.
A lot of people fall into this trap, and this is definitely a habit you don’t want to keep in order to be successful.
