If youโre the visionary type, youโll relate to this:
Your survival brain is slowing killing you.
I learned this while scaling BMC from a one-man shop making $5k/monthโฆ
To now +7 figures a year and a team of +30.
The breakthrough?
I finally stopped running from the lion.
Let me explainโฆ
Early entrepreneurship triggers our ancestral wiring:
๐๐ฝ Constant need to stay "productive"
๐๐ฝ Can't stop moving, building, doing
๐๐ฝ Addicted to operational tasks because "we're good at them"
๐๐ฝ Action at all costs to keep the lights on
Itโs 24/7 survival mode.
But here's the paradox:
The very instincts that kept you alive in year one will kill your growth down the road.
The real leap happens when you give yourself permission to think.
As a visionary, the most humble thing you can do is admit you can't do it all.
You need to:
โ
Build teams that execute
โ
Create space for strategic thinking
โ
Release operations (while staying connected)
The fierce survival brain that kept you alive years 1-3 in business isnโt the mindset that will take you to millions in revenueโฆ
Stop running from the Lion.
The secret isn't working harder.
It's giving yourself permission to stop and think.
Your next level of growth isn't in more doing.
It's in better thinking.
