Michael Gerber says in his E-Myth practice management book series that we are the practice and the practice is us. If we are having financial problems, then the practice is having financial problems. If we are having problems at home communicating with family members, then we will have team members at work with whom we are having communication problems.
The lesson we can learn from this is if we want to make the practice better, then we need to start with us. We need to be the best we can be.
