When JKL Associates is invited into a business to add value, early in the conversation with them, we bring up the need for the owner and associated leadership to take their health seriously. It may sound like an unusual suggestion for a third party to make, but if we collectively want to advance the organization’s success, then we need all team members to be present at both the beginning and the end.
Business owners are often notorious for getting so wrapped up in growing their business that they overlook some of the more critical aspects of success, such as their own health. Long hours, stress, juggling multiple challenges, the list goes on and on. We suspect that as you read this, your mind may have briefly shifted to your health, but then quickly reverted to daily dynamics because you prioritize those items higher.
When we discuss your health, it is not just about a visit to your primary care physician. You should also consider a panel of trusted health advisors, just as you would with the health of your business and the counsel of your trusted advisors. As the business depends on your purpose, vision, passion, and presence, this is only possible when your health is in good standing. Your health advisors include your primary doctor, a dentist, an eye doctor, possibly a hearing specialist, a Promise Guide, and any number of specialists to make sure you are on the right track for sustaining your health proactively.
As you grow your business, you invest in a number of talented individuals as employees or outside advisors to maintain the health of your business in peak condition. You need to have the same approach to your own personal physical body.
This week’s newsletter is a brief version, as I encourage you to take a few minutes to stop, pick up the phone, and schedule your annual physical with your doctor. If you have already done that, congrats to you. Take this time to make sure you are planning your next few weeks of investment in yourself. Time to rest and recuperate, time with family and friends, time to eat right rather than quick service while riding in your car between commitments, etc.
As a business leader, your physical presence is a critical asset in the success of your organization. Although you may have quality people on your leadership team to execute daily operations, don’t take your personal being out of the equation of success. Take your health as seriously as you take the profitability of your company.
As part of your success advisory team, both for the business and your health, consider the value a Promise Guide can bring to you in your quest for growth and best-in-class results. Contact JKL Associates at FL (407) 984-7246 or MI (313) 527-7945.
