Do you suffer from the entrepreneur's gift? Are you the type of person that can take a mediocre opportunity and make it extraordinary? You make things happen and you have this creative mind. It's the entrepreneur's gift as well as a curse. Some people's brains can be very and hyperactive that they try to pursue every opportunity that comes their way. One of the greatest lessons for you to learn is to say no. Do the most productive thing at every given moment. Focus on your to-do list and as equally important is to focus on you're not-to-do list and you're not-now list. Work on you being in your highest use and best use arena. If you suffer from the entrepreneur's gift, realize you are not alone. It's okay. Use that creative genius but stay really critical and focused with you and your team on honing in on your areas for growth.

Whether in peace time or war time, CEOs must always know how to overcome obstacles that their company might come across. You come up against overwhelm, across burnout or frustration, what's your immediate response - fight or flight? It's been documented that our reptilian mind goes into fight. And if to fight is not an option, then we go into retreat and fly away. The corporate warzone is not so different. Being an effective CEO is about embracing those challenges and those obstacles. Come to think of it: aren't you only one or two degrees away from that big break? Have you found this too, that on the other side of that frustration, that wall or being stuck, there is a big breakthrough waiting for you?
Start to get clarity on what you can offer your clients. Then you want to think of the potential reasons why people don't buy it from you. I learned this from Tom Hopkins, one of my first coaches and mentors, all the way back in the early 90's. He said, "Anticipate the obstacle, anticipate the resistance, and anticipate the objection." That's when great things can happen for your business!
