Treat Your Business Like Your Second Child

so uh this video is going to be titled treat your business like your second child so knowing that I have a lot of young fans this may not resonate but for all of you older peeps like me that are lucky enough to have two children uh something interesting happened the other day we had some great friends over Aon and franois they have three children and uh Aaron was getting their middle child ready and their third child was laying on the ground just like flailing in the air and I was thinking about how Lizzie and I are handling Xander compared to Misha and I realized my God like I asked Aaron I said Aaron would you ever let Sebastian lay like that and she's like absolutely not and you start realizing a very common joke around people that have young children is how differently you act with the second child or the third child than you do with the first one can micromanage everything is videotaped it's first fart it's six day and 3 weeks after the first time it ever sneezed on a Tuesday I mean everything is focused on everything is micromanaged everything is overthought I have been paying attention to a lot of people uh running businesses and from Corporate America that wants every little Roi typ to entrepreneurs that have never been through it before thus are micromanaging dumb that actually doesn't matter it's very obvious to me that the best piece of advice I can give at this moment in this world that where I want to produce a lot more content these days because I haven't been doing these videos is treat your business like a second child not nothing is perfect nothing in business is black and white all the magic is in the gray have patience nothing is the worst thing that ever happened and nothing is the best celebrating the way you raised money is just the beginning being devastated and thinking it's over when you lost the deal is not the true reality it's always somewhere in the middle and if you understand how to raise a second child and realize the differences of cool it's eating dirt over there little Timmy's eating dirt and that's okay but you would have never let Big Sister Janet do that that's the same way I think you need to look at your business nothing is the end of the world and nothing is the greatest thing of all time embracing the chaos embracing the nimbleness embracing the things that you can't control is the complete definition of a leader that is going to be able to navigate through the chaotic never predictable business world so relax grab a coffee take a shot of Vodka it's all going to be okay treat your business like a second child
