If You Can’t Do This You’re Doomed To Fail In Business And Your Career

We’ve overextended a client’s credit, and they owed us a half-million dollars. They’re near bankruptcy.

When I heard these words, I wanted to FIRE everyone. To kick and scream and bleed and die.

I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was a feeling of worry, panic…ANGER.

A feeling that wasn’t new to me.

As the leader of my team, this was on me. What I did about it was going to allow us to learn and win from the issue or fail miserably.

Complaining about a problem gets you nowhere.

Many default to complaining about a problem.

Complaining about

• Why it happened.
• Whose fault it is.
• Why it’s not fair.

Complaining about why a team member isn’t pulling their weight.

Complaining about how someone is causing a cultural disturbance.

Complaining about why we didn’t land the contract.

What you need to do is quit complaining.
