I’m excited to share a summary of episode 99 of the podcast.
Have you ever wondered: How to build today the business of tomorrow? Keep reading.
I’ve been immersed in the business world for over 25 years, and if I’m honest with myself, I can say that I’ve been exploring how to use technology all my life.
However, it’s also true that for many years, I felt that my business wasn’t growing at the pace I knew it could.
There was a question I couldn’t stop asking myself.
A question that played in my mind like a broken record.
“Why, if I’m doing everything right?
If I’m doing everything I could possibly do?
Why can’t I take my business to the next level?
If I am help other business grow and get results for my clients:
Why do I struggle so much to achieve results for myself?”
From a blurry vision to a completely focused vision
It’s as if I had a clear and sharp vision of what I wanted to achieve, as if I were wearing 3D glasses while dreaming and visualizing the vision of the future.
But when I tried to get there, everything became blurry.
A change in perspective
The irony is that this is exactly the challenge we face over and over again when we decide to take our companies to the next level.
Albert Einstein once said:
“We cannot solve problems by thinking in the same way we thought when we created them.”
This means that the mindset that got you to where you are now is not the same mindset that will help you overcome the obstacles you currently face.
The Analogy of 3D Glasses
When you view the world through that old mindset, everything becomes blurry, just like when you take off 3D glasses during a movie.
The key to solving this problem lies in realizing that you need to change your perspective and see the problem from a new angle.
The invisible barrier that prevents you from seeing clearly
When we’re trapped in frustration, it’s normal to feel pain and anger.
At the same time, we also feel helpless.
Pain and frustration influence our actions and have an effect on our results:
The first effect is that our focus is on the pain.
The second effect is that all our energy is directed toward hiding or convincing ourselves that we’re not feeling these negative emotions.
In other words, we’re avoiding our emotions.
How to shift from the problem to the solution: The Market
The solution to this problem lies in learning to redirect your focus from the pain and negative emotions toward new possibilities, which are outside of us, in the market.
The solution to the problem you’re trying to solve in your business is found outside of you, living in the pain or desire of the market, not in our own pain.
The Bridge to the Future: How to prepare your company for the future
In my opinion, this bridge that takes us from where our company is in the present to where we want it to be in the future is called “Emotional Intelligence.”
I know, this is probably not what you want to hear.
But that’s precisely what’s holding you back.
How to cross the bridge? By Changing Your Paradigms
So, how do you get on that bridge that allows you to build today the business of tomorrow?
You start by changing your mindset, and to do that, you need to start by identifying and overcoming the outdated beliefs that keep you trapped in a cycle of doing more of the same.
And that can only be achieved by changing your paradigms.
The challenge here is that it’s not possible to change your paradigms using common sense.
So, how do you change paradigms?
The Importance of Emotional Intelligence
And that’s the great irony of this new era we find ourselves in.
In the era of artificial intelligence, what we need the most is to develop our emotional intelligence, both to grow our companies and to grow as individuals and as a society.
If you want to learn more about how to prepare your company for the future, I invite you to listen to episode 99: “How to build the company of tomorrow today (the danger of using common sense),” recorded in Spanish, on the podcast.
