Have you noticed how magical band-aids are? A kid with a skinned knee will get one and all of a sudden the meltdown on the playground turns into fun and adventure on the slide again.

But kids aren’t the only ones who feel better after they get a band-aid. As an (adult) entrepreneur, you might feel the need to apply a band-aid whenever you encounter a problem in your business.

But here’s the problem: like the skinned-knee wound on a child, the injury (and the pain) is still there. You haven’t actually solved the problem. What you need is to stop putting band-aid solutions on business problems and instead get a long-lasting solution.

So in this episode of the Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn scenarios where business owners often try to apply band-aids to problems and why upgrading to using duct tape isn’t the solution, either. I’ll teach you how to come up with solutions that fix problems and improve your business.
