RE: ✍🏻People don't have business problems, they have personal problems
Interesting post, Vika. I do kind of agree with this, but feel the issue is much more in depth. A business is usually made up of humans for the most part. So of course human issues and error cause problems within a business. One thing to consider is the problem within a business isn't often to do with a personal problem in the business owners life, but rather with one of the people who are either working for or as a part of the business. It depends on the scale of your business, what industry you are in, how many countries you operate across etc.. the factors involved in this are endless. I do think this is a great article about employees though, rather than business owners. As an employee, when we do a particular job, our personal success and failings are often directly related to the job we do. It's all interlinked in a way. :-)
Good point about performance of the employees! Easier to find the correlation. Agree that we shouldn’t consider just one side of the coin and draw a clear line between purely business operations and personal issues as some of the things are not gonna be sorted by self-improvement (I wish they could haha). Although, I think that not all the entrepreneurs/employees are conscious enough about the connection between their general well-being and business/work health. I’m very much a fan of a theory that everything in our life is super connected (emotions and energy wise) and sometimes the answer is right in front of you, in other life category but sometimes people don’t see it.
Yeah I do agree with that point. Especially with start-ups when it may just be one person guiding the business in the beginning.
