People decisions.

People challenges impact your happiness and can either be a source of energy or an emotional drain. People issues can include conflicts with a partner, a customer with an outsized share of your business, a supplier delaying your success, a key employee or two that are disrupting the rest of the organization’s effectiveness, or challenges at home. Or, you might simply lack enough employees to serve your customers.

Until you settle these relationship issues, they’ll continue to consume a tremendous amount of emotional energy making it difficult to focus on the other three main decisions that will help you scale. The goal should be getting the right people doing the right things with clear accountabilities and metrics.
