How Your Driving Habits Can Hurt Your Business
“Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.”

Are you suffering from the “dashboard syndrome”?
If you’ve been dreaming about growing your business yet not much seems to be changing month after month you may be suffering from an acute dashboard syndrome.
Let me explain.
My first car was a 1979 Honda Prelude. I loved that car.
In fact, I drove it from New York to San Diego, but that’s a whole different story…Â
Now, the top of the dashboard was flat as a board. But that didn’t stop me from keeping things on the top of it.
Problem was that whenever I turned, whatever was on the top slid right off. I’d pick it up and put it back on the dashboard. Another turn and it would slide right off again.
I’d pick it up… and so on.
Summer time made the problem even worse because I kept the windows open…
If you’ve ever spotted sunglasses in the middle of a busy intersection – I must have been making a u-turn there just moments earlier.
Yet I never seemed to have gotten the lesson to just stop putting things on the top of my dashboard!
I bet you are smiling right now because to some degree you can relate to this.
But it might be less funny when you take a deeper look at your “dashboard syndrome” in action elsewhere in your life.
Are the daily, routine, seemingly insignificant, often thoughtless actions taking you in the direction you want to go?
Don’t look for the “big-hit” items. Analyze the daily routine.Â
What time do you get up? What kind of food do you eat every day? How do you relate to other people? What do you do to grow your business? How organized are you with your time? How many hours do you waste watching TV daily?
OK, you get the picture.
Here is the $62 thousand question:
“If you keep doing this will you end up where you want to be?”
If yes – great. If not – change something! This week – do things differently!
And when you’re ready to get serious about marketing your business the right way, start with getting your own copy of my ACLC program.
That’s an excellent analogy Adam!
And I can certainly relate!
And I couldn’t agree more,that rather trying to hit
home runs, it’s far more practical and effective, to go after the
little things first!
Get so forward momentum, before attempting the major changes!
Definitely makes sense!Thanks!
Always great to hear from you, Mark. ;)
