ADHS als Gründer: Ablenkung produktiv nutzen

0:00Side quests can make the main quest. So, what do I mean by that? So, if you were very like I hate even using this term, but like visionary founder, if you're somebody who like has lots of big ideas, big dreams, you're always like thinking shiny objects, you have a little bit of ADD, a little touch of the of the ad, right? Sometimes you have to find things for yourself to keep distracted to not break your main business. And because sometimes, especially the bigger your business gets, when you're smaller, literally ignore this advice. But, if you're bigger, it just takes like it might take a year for a big initiative to happen because it's it's turning the Titanic versus turning a rowboat, right?

0:35And so, I have found it useful for me like the books for me are obviously there I find a way to make them additive to my overall, you know, business at acquisition.com, but they take time from me, but that time I think gives me thinking space and also allows my team to just continue to get better without me like blowing things up. And so, I tend to prefer large change. From a emotional level, from a logical level, I prefer, you know, incremental, etc. But, it's like how can I how can I have these how can I scratch my new itch? Well, I have to do things that don't drain This is key. They cannot drain resources from the main thing. The side quest only helps if it allows the main quest to succeed even more, not if it distracts the main quest or pulls any resources from it. And so, for me writing books is that thing. For you, it might be something else, but I think I've I've grown more and more okay with the idea that like some things will take time within the business and me having something to do in the meantime can actually increase the likelihood that those things succeed. And in some ways, it's a way of passing the time while things are painful and Real quick, if you are a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the 100 million dollar scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly, where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so, we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so, I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can book a call with my team and we will look at the business, see if we can help, and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
