In my last blog, titled Don’t Get Stuck in Ops Land, I challenged business owners not to get lost in operations.

But knowing isn’t doing.

In this blog, I provide some proven tactics to break free of operations.

Operations feels familiar. Sometimes even comforting.

We often don’t even consciously think about it. Autopilot mode takes over as we cycle through well-worn tasks, without even contemplating our actions.

Springsteen then confided that he plays each night for that person.

In this blog, I revisit a game-changing hack to focus your energy on in the year ahead. I have coined the term retrospective reality to describe this powerful exercise.

Pull out your calendar from last year in retrospect.
