CEO Habit 3

Welp… It’s not that I keep track… But… if I DID keep track… Then this is where I would say most CEOs get stuck… Overthinking. In your business, it can be easy to develop a bias toward overthinking. And overthinking will slow things down, create distractions, and stress you out. In fact, I would guess that at least half of the CEOs I work with are fantastic at overthinking things. Just last week [I hosted a business strategy retreat]( here in Kansas City, and we spent a good amount of time just helping one another simplify. Here’s how to tell if you’ve slipped into being the CEO of Overthinking: - Flat out: you’re behind. There are a lot of huge opportunities and ideas and you have and they’re starting to pile up and get backlogged. - Things are getting put off / ignored. - You’ve got way more ideas than time and yet you still don’t know what to focus on. - You’ve lost your bias toward action. You now move slower (and not in a good way or an “I’m getting old” way) - You’re often the one in your own way. In a nut, you (mostly) know what you need to do… but you still haven’t done it. You’ve got 100 opportunities and priorities, and you’re overthinking everything all the time. (It’s exhausting, right?) Habit 3: Focused CEOs Show Up Every Day What if things were different? What if you DIDN’T overthink things? When you master the habit of showing up every day, and develop your strong bias toward action, then this is what it looks like: - Flat out: You’re reliable. - Surprise! You have more margin. - You (and your team) are working on a calm and confident execution of the plan you built months ago. - You know exactly what your Critical Action is… AND your Critical Action gets prioritized and done - You’ve got systems and structure in place for reliable execution that keeps you on track and free from distractions. - You have time blocks for your most important activities, and, as a result, your to-do list is on your calendar. - Things get done faster, easier, and reliably. When it comes to developing your bias toward action, the best thing you can do is get started small and simple. One of the ways I help avoid overthinking is by designing my ideal week. I’m clear on what is most important AND I’m clear on when I’m going to work on it. Moreover, by having [margin and focus built in to my company culture](, it forces me to stay on track doing only the most important tasks and projects that move things forward. And I regularly review projects and celebrate progress with my team. This helps us stay focused on what’s working and make changes to things that aren’t working. — Shawn P.S.
