Mental blocks

Section 2 : You don’t have to be in crisis to be stuck

Mental blocks don’t only show up when things are going wrong. In fact, some of the most dangerous ones take hold because things are going well.

You found a system that works. A customer base that’s loyal. A rhythm that’s stable. So why push? Why break what doesn’t seem broken? That’s how stagnation begins. Not with failure, but with comfort.

If your team hasn’t had a new idea that makes you nervous, if every decision feels “safe,” you might not be leading an innovative company. You might just be maintaining a successful one. And those are two very different things.
