Watching it break from a distance

It’s about 5 weeks now since I left the practice on sabbatical v4 and left everyone to the Christmas holidays and then to begin the January madness without me being there, without me talking to people.

It’s about 2 1/2 weeks before I go back again, and I wonder what I’ll find.

I’ve wondered this each time that I’ve done this, now having taken a total of almost 6 months off work in the last few years to leave everyone to their own devices.

If you seek growth in your business, both financially and organisationally and personally for the people who work there then you have to set them free.

If you choose to micro-manage your business, trying to anticipate every bump or rough patch and try to manage all those bumps or rough patches yourself or allow yourself to be the person that people can come to all the time whenever there is a problem, then you will suffocate.

It’s a bit like parenting, it’s a bit like teaching your children how to ride a bike.

If you continue to hold the bike and leave the stabilisers on, then you will always have to hold the bike and leave the stabilisers on.

At some point you have to let them fall and get back up again and (hopefully) choose to get back on.

Our business has reached that stage.

A stage where it has to work without me or not work at all.

I don’t believe the business will be worse when I get back, I believe it will be better.

That’s the type of business I always wanted to build.
