Fireside chat - Leading your personal growth
summary
Argument: leading personal growth means setting stretch goals and designing short feedback loops, not just managing tasks. Concrete practices: a one-hour morning routine to think through one topic, regular protected focus time, and pairing coaching, mentoring and peer circles to get objective signals. Common traps: perfectionism, trying to do everything, and assuming past playbooks still work (example: surviving a two‑month runway then scaling 3x after investment). Role advice: be an editor not author — delegate, ask the right questions, and experiment fast.
