Once Upon A Time, There Was A Guy With An Engine Light Problem.
Dan was rushing to his next appointment when suddenly his car sputtered once and then glided to a stop on the side of the busy highway.
Dan had a sinking feeling in his stomach because he knew what the problem was.
It wasn’t that the engine had died. (That was actually the result, not the cause.)
The problem was that he’d ignored his engine light for so long.
He was just so busy with work and family and other responsibilities; he just kept putting it off.
He meant to get around to it but just never did.
And now his car sits on the side of the highway. Useless; unmoving.
… And it would cost him a ton of money and time because he hadn’t proactively addressed the problem.
All that busyness in the previous weeks that seemed to prevent him from taking action no longer seemed be quite as important at the moment when he was on the highway, late for his next meeting and waiting the tow truck.
He thought back and realized that if he knew this would happen, he would have made it more of a priority and shifted something around to get the car in to the mechanic.
(But you and I would agree: the engine light was on… he should have known this would happen and proactively addressed the problem before his car died.)
Everyone Has A Story Like This
The story above is not that uncommon. Some people choose to ignore the engine lights on their car and hope the problem takes care of itself and goes away.
Most people reading this, though, would probably agree that ignoring the engine light is not a smart idea and you’ll end up with bigger problems in the end if you don’t do something about it.
Maybe you’re not someone who ignores the engine light on your car but here’s a harsh truth: you might be ignoring a similar signal in your business.
