People who believe in themselves, like entrepreneurs, believe they can do anything – or at least most things they set their mind to. While that may be true, this idea gets twisted into something that becomes a trap.
“I can do anything” becomes “I can do everything”.
This is not true. You can’t do everything. You have to choose.
You can do a LOT with the help of a team, but you have to focus them. They are no different than you are – they can’t do everything either.
Doing more is great. Doing more is fun if you can pull it off. But there is a point when doing more becomes overload, frustration, and relative failure.
When you find that place you have to heed it.
Get your fulfillment by doing what you already do in a better, cooler, more impactful way, instead of trying to do more different things.
Been meaning to comment for a while, congrats on winning the Baja, also saw the piece on CBS!! Awesome!!!!
I used to have a boss who believed that I could do anything. Problem is, because of that, he also believed that I could do everything – and often then expected me to.
Note that I said that “I used to have a boss…” We both still work for the same company, I just chose for him not to be my boss anymore.
