When you are building your business especially in the early stages you can get tunnel vision and begin to see things only one way, your way. Your world becomes consumed with assets/liabilities, income/expenses, insurance/taxes, and building your brand. You start losing sleep, your thoughts spin, and your conversations are monopolized by everything about your business. You are firmly planted in the forest and all you see are the trees.
Sometimes you need to literally stand up and move yourself to a place that you've never been before and just observe. It could be attending a local community group that is new and where you don't know any of the people. Sit and just observe how the individuals interact and hopefully you will be able to listen to others talking about their businesses or ventures. There's a certain wisdom that comes from listening especially when you are in a time of extreme focus about your own situation or project. You may hear something that will help remove an obstacle in your process or you might gain a new connection that will be able to aid you in the near future.
A new fresh perspective does a world of good for one's attitude and outlook on life and in business. The world is always moving and us with it. Nothing is stagnant and when you simply get up and move to a different spot your situation will look entirely different!
