Last year I went for genetic testing….
A heredity condition had reared its ugly head in my family – meaning I was potentially at risk.
So was my son.
Now, I don’t know the last time you tried to get any medical tests done, but sorting this out was a ball-ache.
… Even though I was going private and willing to pay out of my own pocket.
In the end, I found a hospital and drove the 76 miles.
So here I am…
Stripped down naked…
Donning the gown…
Getting propped and prodded.
Then I wait.
… And wait.
… And wait.
Finally, the doctor strode in.
His prognosis.
“Son, you’re in the clear.”
Thank Fuuuu-ch.
Sweet relief.
The better news – so is Barney.
But that isn’t the reason for this story today…
See before I went for the tests Emma asked:
“Do you really wanna know?”
And I get it.
When it comes to stuff like this many would rather bury their head in the sand.
It’s too big, too much, too difficult.
Funny thing is – the exact same thing applies to business.
… When you’re already overwhelmed, why go looking for more problems?
Yet my opinion is always this:
Tackle shit head-on.
At least then you can try and do something about it.
After all, information is power.
And power is control.
Point being this…
Maybe it’s time to start looking for boogeymen under the bed.
It could save your life and your business.
Until next time.
Make More. Provide More. Be More.
