I mean, I can think of many things, but I am surprised at how people that aren't too close to your business will have insights that you can't see.
And I know that as a consultant over the years, whenever I worked with CEOs, I was never an expert in their business.
And that was a benefit.
And I was willing to ask dumb questions.
And I'd go in and go, have you guys thought about this?
And probably if I did it 10 times, four of them were dumb because I didn't know their business.
Four of them were like, yeah, we thought about that.
And two of them, they were like, wait a minute.
They would look at each other and go, how come we didn't think about that?
And the answer was because they're too close to it.
So what I would say is look for advice and answers and solutions outside of the knowledge base within your own organization.
Go to people that do other things, tell them enough about your business and say, what would you do?
And for every 10 answers, there's going to be two that it's going to be like, we would have never thought of that had we not asked the baker down the street or the doctor how to run this business.
And four are going to be dumb.
Four are going to be like, yeah, we thought of that.
But look for answers outside of your normal domain.
Because there's something about having that naive insight that can really, and they're usually pretty like fundamental changes.
Yes, and not in the same industry.
I've learned so much from people in different businesses.
For me, and I was going through this today talking to a counselor, it's sitting in silence with God and knowing that I am loved.
