Episode 81 - Your Bottleneck

The Bottleneck is ALWAYS at the Top!

Have you ever seen a bottle where the bottleneck is anywhere but the top? Probably not! That’s because the most restricted part of any bottle is the bottleneck. And the SAME is true in business! The limit on any business is ALWAYS at the TOP of the business – you, the business owner!

So if you want your business to grow bigger, you’ve got to first grow yourself. If you want your business to be better, you’ve got to be better yourself.

Here’s Your Net Worth Tip of the Day

I’ve got a Success Self-Assessment that measures where you are on 16 characteristics that define GREATNESS as a business leader. It covers areas such as self-confidence, positivity, buoyancy, inspiring others, thirst for knowledge, demanding high standards, setting aggressive goals, developing your team, leading by example, accountability, out-hustling the average, having a clear dream and making a difference in the world.

My question for you is – if you were to rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 in each of these areas, would you be a 10 (the best there is) or closer to a 1 (you suck at this)?

If you’re serious about taking your business to the next level, then you need to be passionate about taking YOURSELF to the next level FIRST! You’ve got to be ON-FIRE when it comes to the attributes that are behind the ultimate success formula:

BE x DO = HAVE

You’ve got to BE the kind of person people are inspired by. You’ve got to DO the things that successful leaders do. And you’ve got to HAVE a clear idea of your future and the significance you want to make in this world.

Without being at your best in each of these areas, you’ll never achieve the success you desire and deserve!
