Lots of things look like fun but actually are pretty crappy once you are experiencing them, like… ballet. Ballet looks fun but if you aren’t trained, and if you aren’t serious about doing it well, then you are just sort of dancing spastically in a leotard. It’s exhausting. Which is fine, but you’re not gunna make it to any big ballet company like that. Again, exhausting … if you are trying to make it to the big time and consistently getting nowhere, that is very tiring. Same with business. If you’re just doing it nelly-skelly without any direction or skill, that’s fine, but you aren’t going to make it very far.

So if you ARE trying to be in legitimate business, then you want to be aware of the factors that might be contributing to your stagnation or inability to profit, grow or develop – that is, the signs you are playing business. I’m covering signs you are playing business in this episode!
