On your shoulders right now is an angel on one side and a wizard on the other side, and if you don't listen to them both, you will hurt your business
The Angel is the one who wants to analyse and test and test and be cocksure before taking any action.
The Wizard is the one who/

What you want is to be somewhere in between.
Especially if you are building a brand and a name that will last for a long time.
So how do we differentiate between these two?

1. Business is both peace and war!
Whilst you are trying to change the world with your business, you should realise that there is a competition around the corner trying to outwit you.
You see this so evident in the tech industry

On one shoulder, your Angel is encouraging you to try to make the world a better place with your arm of peace, on the other, your wizard is asking you to be at alert because there is competition, so you can't sleep.
Business is peace on one arm, and war on the other.

2. Business is not charity! Use your wizard.
I get it, when you are in business and seem to be making progress, people will automatically think you have the money in the world and will come to you for money.
You need to be wise.
Business money is business money

Business money is business money
If ofcourse, there are situations where you need to go the extra mile to solve problems for people, you can but you must not be loose
Yes, people will try to guilt trip you and if you are a weak minded person, you'll be drawn into self guilt

If money is going out of your business, be sure money is coming back in.
3. Separate personal relationship from business, except your partner is involved in the business.

/even when they are not qualified. Even if they will wreck the business, but your wizard will tell you a No-No.
You are not to allow sentiment.
If bringing in a girlfriend, wife, brother, sister or friend will ruin the business, let your wizard have his way.

Business doesn't know relation. It doesn't.
4. Marketing is a battle of ideas! Test them.

It is easy to fall in love with your
/idea, romance with it and forget that the market has changed.
You must allow your wizard freedom to test new ideas.

And the title of this thread lest I forget...
WHY BE AN ANGEL (RATHER THAN A WIZARD) WHEN YOUR BUSINESS WANTS YOU TO BE A MIX OF BOTH?

This thread shows you little things that matter to your business
