What does a brutal CrossFit workout have to do with business decision-making?
As it turns out, everything!
When I told my coach I couldn't possibly do a 100 weighted pull-ups during the legendary Murph workout, he reminded me I'd just done 55 in half the time the previous week.
In that moment, I realized how quickly we set artificial limitations and mental anchors that become our reality.
This same anchoring effect silently sabotages business decisions every day.
I see CEOs "save" on technology by choosing budget solutions, only to lose 10x that amount in missed opportunities.
I watch leadership teams anchor to modest growth targets (Industry average +2%) when 20% might be achievable.
The most dangerous aspect? These anchors form unconsciously.
In my latest video, I share how to identify and break free from these limiting anchors.
What artificial limitation might be holding your business back right now?
