A Lesson Learned From "St. George and the Dragon"....



Why care about this painting? There is alot going on in here so lets dig in. 
This is a famous painting “St George and the Dragon” by Paolo Uccello. It dates back to the 1470's and is on display in The National Gallery in London. St. George has come on his horse to kill the dragon and save the maiden. The maiden "wants" to be saved from the dragon. But what she doesn't realize is that she has been holding onto its leash the entire time. And what she MUST do is let go of it. This story relates very much to anyone dealing with addiction. ADDICTION: “a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it.” 

And is this case, we’re talking about addiction to pushing yourself SO hard that you cross the barrier into very negative pain and suffering in growing your business.

When you are experiencing dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and burnout symptoms WHILE pushing yourself extremely hard to grow your business… you become like the maiden in the legend of St. George.
