Sin II: Lack of contact with reality

In today's episode of the podcast “Niebajki Biznesowe” We focus on the second main sin of doing business - lack of contact with reality. We discuss the consequences of coloring the situation in the company and overestimating its achievements, which can lead to erroneous strategic decisions. I remind you of a situation when I ran a startup and met experienced entrepreneurs asking difficult questions, noting how easy it is to overcolor reality.

I cite the human tendency to paint their business in a positive light, which can lead to erroneous assessments of the business situation. I emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy contact with reality in order to avoid decision-making mistakes and maintain a balanced approach to the assessment of the situation in the company. It is important to distinguish between opinions and facts in order to avoid unreasonable business decisions.

In the episode, we also discuss exercises to help train the ability to distinguish facts from opinions and emphasize the importance of sticking to facts during difficult conversations or conflicts. We encourage the use of fact-based communication, which can have a positive impact on relationships in both business and personal life. By consciously following the facts, we can avoid mistakes and build more constructive relationships with others.

In the next part of the episode, we discuss the topic of distinguishing facts from opinions and discuss ways of communication that allow you to express your feelings and opinions without confrontation. We pay attention to the conscious control of one's own emotions and reactions, which can reduce conflict and improve communication. We remind you of an upcoming webinar on goal setting, which will be a continuation of our discussions on business strategy.

We emphasize that the ability to distinguish facts from opinions is crucial in decision-making both in business and in everyday life. We encourage you to reflect on your own feelings and opinions, consciously making decisions based on both data and subjective assessments. We also encourage you to leave a review on Spotify or Apple Podcast and join communities of conscious entrepreneurs, where we will support each other in business development. Stay tuned and we'll hear you!
