Losing sleep
We’re obsessed and insecure with the wrong thing.
“The day you stop losing sleep about your own success and start losing sleep over your customers’ success is the day your business will start growing again.”
— Donald Miller & J.J. Peterson, Marketing Made Simple
To "your customers' success," I'd add "or happiness with their purchase."
How often are we so obsessed with and so insecure about our own self-promotion that we forget the why behind our work? That the whole reason we do our work is to help others succeed or to love their purchase.
In my case, it happens embarrassingly often.
