By living in the future, you’re also able to look at things different and prepare for things that you know will come. For example, it can be an unruly competitor trying to capture your market share, new updates to existing competitors, employees leaving, sales over exceeding expectations, hiring new people, and so many more.\r\n\r\nA good leader is a leader who is poised and prepared. They can absorb anything that is thrown their way, because they’ve already reenacted this scenario in their own head for months prior.\r\n\r\nFor years, I wasn’t looking towards the future. In fact, I wasn’t even in the present. I was neck deep in crap that I had to do and had a massive to do list that stopped my growth. This to do list was so long and consistently being worked on that new things were barely able to make the cut.\r\n\r\nThis act of catch up destroyed me mentally, which is why I wanted to share my experience with how I got out of this block and am now living a more balanced life than ever before.\r\n"}
