#TechChat – Do You Have Superhero Syndrome?

As business owners it is easy for us to fall into the trap of what Chris Ducker calls the Superhero Syndrome. This is where, as Chris describes it, that we feel there is no “kryptonite to our hard working, saving the business world ways.”

But of course there is something that can stop the business owner and that thing is usually burnout.

In that same vein, I believe that as a coach and consultant when you are being the Superhero in your business there are key areas that breakdown. When these areas break down it affects your income and your business reputation.

The truth is we can't do EVERYTHING. A successful business owner DELEGATES. They get help. They ask for help. They realize that it makes good business sense to focus on what they are great at and blessed to do, and leave the rest for others who are great and blessed in that area.

Control and perfectionism will keep your business stagnated. The worst case scenario is that it could even close your business.

Watch the video below to find out more about what I think about Superhero Syndrome and what you can do to get out of it.
