Gary Vaynerchuck says 'One Step Back is Always A Good Strategy'.
Whilst I wouldn't necessarily agree that it is ALWAYS a good strategy, I certainly agree it's never really a BAD strategy.
We're often scared of taking a step back, just in case we get stuck back there.
But sometimes it's not only necessary, but also a good idea.
It gives you time to reflect. To take a breath. To catch up. To re-focus and re-align.
And, as we touched on in Ep. 1198, this Covid-19 crisis may actually give you the Cover to take that step back now.
Think about it. It'll be pretty easy to explain to a potential employer in a year or two why you took a step back in your career at this time.
So, don't overthink it.
If you feel you need to take a step back right now, take it.
It's probably not a bad strategy.
