27 Mar Leaders are Readers
The limiting factor in your business isn’t the economy; it’s not your competition; it’s not the market, and it’s not your employees.
The reason your company hasn’t gone to the next level is, believe it or not, you. And it’s not just you – the reason mine hasn’t gone to the next level is me, too!
That’s the bad news. The exceedingly great news is that we have some control over we are! You can become the leader, the entrepreneur, the business owner that you need to become to take your business to the next level.
When you come to this understanding, it’s a frightening one, a sobering one. But it’s also extremely empowering, because now you can really believe that taking your organization to the next level isn’t in someone else’s hands – it’s in yours.
There’s a quote that you hear a lot in business circles, with good reason. “Leaders are readers.”
This is a simple way of saying that your role as the leader of your [potentially very small] business includes learning and growth. Reading is a great way to do that. Both Nancy and I have some suggested reading lists.
