448. Breaking Free from Business Complacency That's Killing Your Growth with Chris Robinson


Listen Later

Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership, shares his powerful framework for breaking out of business complacency in his new book "From Drift to Drive." He reveals how successful entrepreneurs often drift into "careless security" where they stop doing the things that made them successful in the first place. Chris outlines his seven-step process to help business owners regain clarity, build community, and take intentional action toward their goals.

 Key Takeaways
  • Complacency isn't laziness - it's "careless security" where you become comfortable and stop sharpening the skills that got you where you are
  • Start with clarity - consistently ask yourself "What do I want?" because your goals should evolve as you grow
  • Align your daily actions with your annual goals - check if your weekly to-do list matches what you said you wanted at the beginning of the year
  • Community beats competition - surrounding yourself with like-minded people opens more doors than trying to protect your "secrets"
