“I know what I’m doing”

“I’ve been doing this a long time, I know what I’m doing.”

Do you?  Do you really?

Just because you have been doing it a long time doesn’t mean you know what you are doing.  It doesn’t mean that you’ve selected the right success metrics and have modified your behavior toward improving them.

Many people believe that the company that I’ve helped create has been successful.  That being said, I go in to everything I do with the willingness to learn, look at results and make changes, because “I don’t know what I’m doing.”
