As leaders, we all face temptations that can distract us from what matters most. And more often than not, those temptations take one of 5 common forms: certainty, obsession, apathy, distraction, or isolation. In this episode, Alex talks with Ben about how these temptations tend to manifest in our businesses and our personal lives. They then discuss practical strategies for avoiding each one.

Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.


Episode Recap:

  • Every leader faces temptations that can lead us off track.
  • 1. Certainty: To be a person of faith is to accept that you don’t know everything.
  • What does it look like to have faith while also stewarding your resources well?
  • 2: Obsession: Even good things can be temptations when we start thinking we need them.
  • Is your life serving your business, or is your business serving your life?
  • To avoid obsession, establish rhythms of self control.
  • 3. Apathy: When our obsessions fail to fulfill us, it’s easy to fall into apathy.
  • Practice seeing ordinary tasks as acts of worship.
  • 4. Distraction: We tend to lose focus when we don’t hold fast to our vision.
  • You were not created for comfort, you were created for service.
  • 5. Isolation: Healthy growth never occurs without community.
