What are You Tolerating?
Running a business means a lot of hours managing all the moving parts that go with being the owner. In recent coaching session I’ve asked business owners what they are tolerating in their businesses that may be getting in the way of achievements. Answers went from employee habits like extreme lateness and offensive behavior to vendors changing pricing without notice. The next question was “what is the impact of these toleration on the business?” And, what would it “cost” (time, energy, stepping up to address the issue) to change the situation and not have to tolerate it anymore. Often the answers were straight forward and the impact to the business was worth the effort of elimating the toleration. What are you tolerating?
