Friday morning my stomach hurt. It must have been the Domino’s Pizza. I must avoid pizza. Even if it’s $5.55 for three mediums. I’ve experienced this before. It must have been the pizza.
Friday afternoon the chills and fever came. And the pain in my stomach. That got worse. It must be the flu. I’ve experienced flu. Fluids, rest. That’s what I need.
Hmm. Saturday. It’s getting worse. My stomach. Man. This isn’t like anything I’ve experienced. Probably still the flu.
Sunday. Get some exercise. That will make me feel better. Wrong. Oh. It’s getting worse. Better go to the doctor. Much better now:)
Sometimes the symptoms we see and feel in health and in business are misleading. Misleading because of our experience. We are quick to rely on experience and take a corrective course of action. However, if the symptoms persist. You must keep looking for a cure. Sometimes the cure is beyond our experience and needs an outside opinion to be diagnosed. The good news is the cure doesn’t have to be complicated, but the systemic issue must be diagnosed correctly.
