86. Episode #44: How an Elephant Can Help You with an Identity Crisis in Your Business The Entrepreneur Evolution
-
- Business
Today’s Express Tip has been a common theme lately in our coaching sessions and in our group masterminds. People, business owners, entrepreneurs, are saying they need the next layer of their organization. But when that next layer of organization is built, what will I do? What will be my identity? So use this illustration to help you understand what your role is as the leader and owner of your company. Picture a huge elephant walking through very tall grass. Grass so tall that the elephant cannot see anything in front of it. There are lots of dangerous things out there unseen, snakes, tigers, and you're just trying to get to the village. You are standing on top of the elephant, and your team is down in the grass with the machetes chopping through the grass so the elephant can walk through it. Halfway up the elephant there are people hanging off it that can see a little bit over the grass, but not the village on the horizon. Your job, sitting on top of the elephant, is to tell them where to go, where they need to chop, where to steer. You are setting the vision and guiding them to where you need to go. Sometimes you go down to the ground to help others, but quickly go back on top of the elephant to steer where you are going. If you haven’t had a chance to jump back on top of the elephant, and you are down on the ground with the machete - get up out of the weeds, that's not your job. When you build those layers below you, when you let go of something in your business, you will see new things. If you haven't heard yet about our mastermind groups make sure you reach out to learn about being on top of that elephant with other like minded entrepreneurs in these groups - reach out and book a session. Keep evolving, Entrepreneur!
