BRX Pro Tip: If You’re Stuck, Is It Skill or Will?
Stone Payton: Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, if you’re stuck, if you’re in a rut, I think it’s important to ask yourself some questions, one of which is, “If I’m, is it skill or is it will?” Say more about that.
Lee Kantor: Yeah, this is kind of having some level of self-awareness is really important if you want to grow as a person and you want to grow your business. If you find yourself stuck and plateauing or in any area but, specifically, we’re talking about business here, you have to understand, is it something that you’re stuck because there’s some skill you don’t have that you need to have in order to move to the next level? Or is it because you’re just not doing the things that you should be doing in order to move to the next level?
Lee Kantor: So, you have to look in the mirror and have a really kind of introspective conversation with yourself in order to determine the reason you’re stuck. And a lot of times, it’s a skill problem. Maybe you don’t have certain skills that you need to have, and those are kind of easy to fix because you just have to find somebody who’s good at whatever that gap is, and then either hire them to do it, or go on YouTube and learn how to do it.
Lee Kantor: Will problems are a little trickier because that’s going to require you to figure out the deep, dark reason that you’re not motivated and you’re not getting something done. And those are harder to kind of get past, and that requires a lot more inner strength from you. But skill problems are pretty easy. So, if you have a skill problem, just find somebody who knows how to do it, and pay the price, and pay them to fix it.
