Self Storage Tip - 💡 💰 🤑
I heard this on the Mike Greene Podcast and immediately stopped running and had to take notes 🏃♂️
Mike said ….
“Everyone in your business is either an anchor or a propeller”
Wow … Game changer …. Ive never thought of it like this!
He went on to say
“You can be an anchor one day and a propeller the next
However you can’t be an anchor too often or you hold the business back”
This is absolute GOLD and makes so much sense! 👏
As the leader or the manager your job is to turn everyone in to a propeller
If everyone who is working alongside you is a propeller the business becomes unstoppable!
The growth of your business happens at such incredible speed when you have propellers in your organisation
I would actually add that if you have people who are anchors then you need to get rid of them as quickly as possible ….
I firmly believe anchors will negatively effect the propellers
Reward the propellors in your business and disregard the anchors ⚓️
