Are You Always Putting Out Fires At Work?

How to Overcome these Work Havocs!

There's a stage that every business owner seems to go through where it feels like every time your phone buzzes, something traumatic is happening with your business or personal life that requires immediate attention.

You know the pattern - just as one "fire" is extinguished, another flares up.

Here's a cold truth that you may not like to hear:

These constant fires are happening because you're stuck in reactive mode (victim mentality) versus responding mode (victor mentality).

You may think I'm utterly wrong? Hear me out. It's happening because there's something deeper going on in your leadership approach.

Always being the firefighter has become a comfort zone - it feels productive, important, and validates your role as the indispensable leader.

This reactive cycle often stems from:

1. Avoiding strategic planning in favor of quick fixes

2. Micromanaging rather than empowering team members

3. Failing to develop systems that prevent predictable problems

4. Unconsciously creating environments where drama is rewarded with attention

So how do you fireproof your business?

While I was a realtor, I was very reactionary and always putting out fires. It was both exciting and exhausting. It's only when I took a step back and started pausing that things changed. Instead of reacting to the drama, I learned to respond. That means I literally had to step back from the situation and take a macro look at what was happening. What was behind the fires? (In real estate, it was usually stemming from unresolved emotional issues the homeowner was having about the move or selling the house.)

But for you as a business owner, you know your clients best. And you know more than you think you do.

Think about it - there's something weirdly satisfying about swooping in to save the day. We get to be the hero! We feel needed! But man, at what cost?

It's actually sabotaging who you want to become - a business owner with more ease and more time to actually grow your business.

So you must block time to create systems and empower your team to help you fireproof the business.

Some game-changers to help you break this cycle:

• Instead of just fixing problems, started asking "how do we make sure this never happens again?"

• Getting comfortable with NOT being the hero all the time. Your team has solutions when you give them space!
