Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-When You've Built Yourself Out of a Job

from Carl Gould #70secondCEO · host Carl Gould

 When You've Built Yourself Out of a Job Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  One of the things I learned very early on in my coaching training and when I, I started out my career as a life coach. One of the first things that we learned was that the two top areas of distress you will deal with the client is number two, which is I have a goal. I know what the goal is. I just don't know how to get there, you know, and I need help and I lack the strategy and, you know, maybe the education or the attributes, or there's something that's missing. Help me fill the blanks. And, you know, and that's the number two distress. The number one distress is answering the question. Now what? So I've hit my goals. I've gotten the things that I set out to get, but I now don't know what to do with myself. That's the number one distress. And so what we need to do is we need to step back from the business for a moment and create their life plan because the business, as you said, is tied to their identity. It's tied to their feeling of self-worth. You know, what do you need me for now? Well, in the business, maybe nothing, or in the business, maybe just your insights and your history, some legacy knowledge, but no, we don't need you for the business. Why? Not because you're not needed. It's because you trained us really well. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.
