Stop Stepping In

Watching somebody you care about go through pain is not easy. Whether it's a team member, friend or family member, if you care about them, you likely want to help take the pain away.

But sometimes in order to change the pain is necessary.

Pain is not a bad thing if it leads to better results.

As a business owner, I see this often. Mistakes are made, clients get upset and then I get pulled in to help... And I usually help because not helping is painful for me. It's time to take my own advice on this one and realize that this pain is helping me.

This time I'm not stepping in.

I will support and encourage but I won't fix the mistake.
