Ok, so today I want to go over something most business owners do not realize they are doing to themselves. It is the reason a lot of entrepreneurs stop growing at a certain point. And it has nothing to do with the market, capital, your team, or the economy.
It is your own brain working against you.
I am writing this because I see it happen all the time. An entrepreneur finally gets traction. The team is in place. The systems are starting to work. And then, for no clear reason, they sabotage it. They fire a solid employee. They overhaul a website that just started converting. They pivot the entire business on a random Tuesday. And if you ask them why, they cannot give you a straight answer.
There is a name for this. It is called chaos addiction. A lot of the framework I am about to share comes from Dan Martell's book Buy Back Your Time, which I highly recommend reading if you have not yet. Today I want to walk through where chaos addiction comes from, how it shows up in your business, and the exact playbook to fix it.
