Problems are not always what we think they are. Take walls for example. You bump into them all the time in everyday life, and the same is true in business. You hit a problem that just won’t budge, or get resolved.
I have a thought – walls are not always what they seem. Maybe the wall is in fact the vertical face of a step.
In order to check whether you are looking at a wall or a step, you need to step back and look at “the big picture”.
Businesses do not grow in straight lines, and the size of step required to get to the next level can be daunting.
The climb may leave you puffing and panting, and probably wondering if it was worth the effort.
We all need the occasional leg-up to help us climb up, but the effort is always worthwhile. To work out if a wall is really a wall or the vertical face of a step needs perspective and experience.
Climbing steps can be hard. But it takes you higher, which has to be better than hitting your head against a wall.
