About this episode

Entrepreneurs are presented with countless possibilities. Some may tempt them with higher profits, greater efficiency, and more influence. However, impulsively chasing after the “next big thing” can lead to disorganization, a loss of focus, and stagnant growth. This phenomenon is called the shiny object syndrome or SOS and can become a serious hurdle to your personal and professional success.

 

What exactly is shiny object syndrome? Could you have it and if you do, how can you overcome it?

 

Let’s explore 6 strategies to help you overcome shiny object syndrome, so you can be on the path to more quickly have your ideal business and ideal life.


Avoid Shiny Object Syndrome and Keep Your Eye on What Matters

 

Shiny object syndrome is nothing more than a fancy name for unnecessary distractions. These distractions take you away from your main goals and make them harder to achieve. If you know what you want and see shiny objects for what they really are, you can avoid being deterred and maintain a laser focus on changes that make a real difference to your bottom line, and keep you on the path to having your ideal business and ideal life.
