My business got better when I stopped working

I just got back from holiday.

And something happens to me almost every time I go away:

I get new ideas.

Not because I sit by the pool with a notebook trying to “strategize.”

Actually, it’s the opposite.

I’m NOT working.

I’m walking around a different city.

Eating different food.

Seeing how other businesses operate.

Talking about completely different things.

And suddenly…

I start seeing my own businesses differently.

Things that seemed complicated before suddenly look obvious.

Problems I was stuck on don’t seem that big anymore.

And new ideas just appear.

I think there’s a simple reason for that:

Distance.

When you’re inside your business every single day, it’s incredibly difficult to look at it objectively.

You’re answering messages.

Dealing with customers.

Solving today’s problems.

Thinking about payroll.

Marketing.

Sales.

Employees.

Whatever fire happens to be burning that day.

You’re IN it.

And sometimes you need to get OUT of it to see what’s actually going on.

That’s one of the reasons I think taking time away from your business is massively underrated.

But you know what gives you a very similar effect?

Talking to someone who isn’t inside your business.

Someone who doesn’t have all the emotional baggage.

Someone who can look at what you’re doing and simply ask:

“Why are you doing it like that?”

Sometimes that one question is worth more than another 20 hours of thinking about the problem yourself.

And that’s basically what good business coaching should do.

Not tell you how to run your company.

Give you an outside perspective.

Challenge your assumptions.

Find opportunities you’re too close to see.

And help you figure out what actually deserves your attention next.
