I was so busy running..
Never stopped to think about where I'm going.
I needed to step back and think about what I want to do.
Where I want to go?
Where I will be most excited?
And where I will be most rewarded?
That for me is - strategy development and acquiring businesses.
I've been putting in some heads down effort towards that and making good progress.
But I still get dragged in all different directions.
It's not a one and done.
There are so many new developments every day that it's hard to maintain focus!
Some things that help me deal with this:
Making strategic thinking a habit. Consciously stepping aside from the day to day execution to check on the strategic priorities helps me iterate and pivot when needed.
Talking with external advisors, friends, or a cohort of others on a similar journey.
Putting out content. Something about the exercise of articulating ideas to the world clarifies things in my own head.
Is strategic thinking a regular practice in your life ?
For each area of your life - work, health, relationships - do you periodically "zoom out"?
