Every entrepreneur knows the lure of the "next big thing." A new strategy, tool, or trend flashes across your feed, promising growth, ease, or salvation—and before you know it, you've spent days chasing it instead of deepening what's already working. In this episode, Erin Aquin and Steve Haase explore how to resist those distractions and stay anchored in your true business vision.
They share stories from coaching clients (and themselves) who've fallen for the illusion that the solution to every problem lies "out there"—with a new hire, a new program, or a total pivot. You'll learn how to recognize when that impulse is actually avoidance, and how to channel your creative energy into experiments that strengthen, rather than derail, your core business.
In this episode:
The real cause of "shiny object syndrome" (and how self-trust changes everything)
Why delegation isn't always the answer—and how to tell when it is
How to reconnect with your vision and values before making big decisions
Erin's practical test for knowing when a pivot is truly worth it
How to scratch your creative itch without sacrificing your main source of impact
Whether you tend toward impulsive leaps or overthinking paralysis, this conversation will help you find the balance of disciplined experimentation anchored in clarity.
