The Ego Trap Killing NZ Businesses

It's time to wake-up NZ.

I love watching Olympic athletes compete at the highest level - the grind, the glory, the stories.

But how many athletes are competing at the Olympics by themselves?

In the immortal words of Scribe, "Not many, if any". 😜

Elite athletes train in squads. They compare results, share information, and surround themselves with coaches – sport-specific, strength, nutrition, physio, psychology and more.

And the lack of an entourage is seen as a weakness, NOT as a strength (think Eric the Eel vs. Michael Phelps.)

So why, oh why, NZ, do we fall into egotistical trap of believing that it's the amateur business owners that need better people around them and not the professionals?🤷‍♂️

Somewhere along the way, we've decided that asking for help means you aren't good enough. That experienced business owners should have all the answers.

But elite performers in every other field know better.

The higher the stakes, the more support you need.

The best business owners don't try to do it all themselves – they build a team around them that helps them think better, decide better, and execute better.

How much better would you be performing if you had coaches and other business owners pushing you?
