BUSINESS AUTONOMY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HOW EASILY YOU ACCOMMODATE INTERFERENCES & INTERRUPTIONS.
I remember when El Chapo was named a new Billionaire in Forbes magazine. It was the perfect “real world” example of what was then my EMAIL LEAD MAGNET all about the “marketing and sales tactics for prostitutes and drug dealers.” (You can PM me for your own copy.)
I’m fascinated by this underground world of business because they — like me — weren’t super interested in “networking” or “getting their name out there.” lol… They had some “constraints” that could have kept them playing small… entire task forces devoted to putting them out of business…
And yet, still, they carried on, in a few cases like El Chapo, creating Billions.
Now, I’m not advocating their industry, products and certainly not the WAY they do business, I want to point out something about El Chapo that IS instructive.
He had a VIOLENT reaction to anything that may interfere with his business.
This included interruptions in deal flow.
Interference in delivery.
Interruptions in harvest.
Interruptions in transport.
Legal interference.
Anything that was seen as a POSSIBLE interference was seen as — and treated as — the enemy, and despite all of the forces out to shut him down, for a long time, his enterprise flourished.
Again, not advocating for this scumbag, but there are lessons to be learned EVERYWHERE. My question to you is this:
how easily do YOU accommodate interferences and interruptions?
Interruptions to your day, your schedule your flow?
Interferences in your business, your messaging, your own agenda?
I’ll cover this topic in more detail in our AUTONOMY & AUTHENTICITY course, but for now, I want you to just start to consider your own tolerance for interruption.
–How easily do you shift out of your own zone to attend to someone else?
–How readily do you abandon your agenda?
–How gracefully do you walk away from your own “flow” to accommodate the tyranny of the urgent?
Now, I’m not suggesting we start beheading people for interrupting our business agenda. BUT, I AM suggesting that we begin defending our agenda, our goals, our business with a bit more oomph.
Because having FREEDOM in our business, having TRUE autonomy DEPENDS on our SWIFT and DELIBERATE reaction to interference and interruptions.
Here are a few areas to consider:
How and when to clients/employees have access to you?
How do you deal with the tyranny of the urgent?
What hours of EVERY DAY does no one have access to? How do you protect this time and how do you invest it?
There’s so much more about AUTONOMY to come.
In our upcoming 5-Week program we’ll:
— Expose the 12 SPECIFIC factors that will IMMEDIATELY impact the LEVEL of authenticity and autonomy you will enjoy — PROFITABLY — in your business.
— Usher in the independence you want by shifting just a FEW key “rules” in your business.
— Arm you for how to graciously handle the pushback you’ll INEVITABLY face when you start doing business on your own terms.
— Show you what you MUST do, STOP doing, get and GET RID OF in order to achieve the autonomy and freedom you want, and deserve.
— Arm you with the concepts, tools, words, phrases, and more that you need to see if you EVER want to TRULY do business on your own terms.
I am Sooooooo excited. PM me on Facebook for details.
