What to do

"What is the impact of deciding to continue the business after Yvette and Steve left rather than when I originally said?"

said Jan


"Lots!"

said Andy

Here's some examples

What I have done   What this actually means   What is the actual result?
I decided that I cannot stop doing what I have done for 40 years.   I have unnecessarily made my life complicated.   I've got lots of stuff to deal with.





I have decided to take on all of the management roles*   I am finding these challenges a little difficult.   I hope to succeed in my tasks.





I convinced myself that I can manage everything* despite seeing how complicated it is.   I was not paying attention - as always.   I've realised I am a stubborn old sod. (Maybe I don't realise this, because I am a stubborn old sod).





I listened to advice about the complexities of managing a business.   I ignored that advise and was not actually giving the advice my full attention.   I will need to find someone to help me.





I have changed my mind at various stages in the past 15 months.   Nobody has any idea what I am intending to do.   I have lost the trust of my staff





Who can I contact for help running the business?   Call Simpsons, or employ someone with business management experience.   As I'm stubborn, this may take several years, by which time I would have created a gigantic mess.





         
What would have happened if I was not so stubborn?   Everything could have been finalised properly, and I could be playing golf.   I am still too stubborn to accept I was wrong.





         
* I will get someone else to do this most likely.
