What Is The Entrepreneurial Shuffle?

Like anything in life, balance reduces risk and increases harmony.

The Entrepreneurial Shuffle is what I call the process of “Kaizen” which is a Japanese word for constant and never ending improvement. The entrepreneurial version of “never ending learning, change, and professional development”. It is also:

  1. Equilibrium: Maintaining an equilibrium is how we create balance in any given situation. You understand the difference between balance and equilibrium. Balance is about even weight distribution, or the state of maintaining elements equally. Whereas, equilibrium maintains a state of equal forces and balance.
  2. Responsible Commitment: That you had better pay attention because you know that whether your family gets to eat ‘well’ tonight it is your place to make sure they can and do.
  3. Brutal Reality: Knowing you have shortcomings and when you notice them, you immediately set about to change your behavior and make a new habit.
  4. Remove Limiting Beliefs: Changing your mind about something based on new information, observations, and learning’s.
  5. Thinking Ahead: Knowing it is not just about winning or losing but making sure you are able to ’stay in the game’ long enough so you can win.

Beware of The Impostor Shuffle

When you are in avoidance mode you are experiencing the Impostor Shuffle, a distraction. It’s what happens when you move from foot to foot, anxious due to boredom, nervousness, or embarrassment.

You might also notice the ‘impostor shuffle’ when you find yourself ‘tweaking’ this and that to keep busy. Busy work versus important work.

Apply the five traits of the Entrepreneurial Shuffle and change your life and business one decision, one action at a time.
