Are you rowing or steering? Part 2 of 2

In our last blog post below, we discussed whether you’re rowing or steering your business and said it depends on which way you’re facing.

Today, we want to give you simple sentence to remember the difference. Read each sentence below and note the preposition (short italicized word).

Rowing: You work IN the business instead of ON the business.

Steering: You work ON the business instead of IN the business.

If you’re rowing, you’re bogged down in the day-to-day operations of your business. In contrast, if you’re steering, you’re in the ideal position to take it to the next level. Which sentence best describes you?

Are you rowing or steering? Part 1 of 2

Look closely at this picture. What do you see? A speedboat and a rowboat, right?

These two boats symbolize two very different approaches to running your business—and it all comes down to the 1) direction you’re facing and 2) what you’re focusing on.

For instance, if you’re rowing, you’re positioned so that you’re always looking backward. Steering, on the other hand, puts you forward facing and in the driver’s seat, focusing on future opportunities. Think of the implications for your business.

Rowing makes you tired and grouchy. Steering invigorates. What business boat are you in today?
