Entrepreneurs often thrive on momentum. You’re like a semi-truck barreling down the road at high speed. However, if you don’t check your blind spots in the mirror regularly, you may crush others or even end up in an accident.

Here are three ways that you can check your entrepreneurial blind spots.

First of all, ask your customers. Give them an outlet where they can give suggestions for improvement to your business. Their opinion is perhaps the most important of all.

Second, provide a way for your employees to provide anonymous feedback. Yes, they may hesitate to give their boss direct feedback. But, if you give an anonymous outlet, you’ll get great insights about your business.

And third, use an advisor such as a business coach or a mentor and ask them, “What blind spots do I have?” Their third-party perspective will give you a lot of wisdom.

Now, I’d like you to share in the comments section below: how do you avoid blind spots in your business?

Also, if you have any question you’d like me to answer in a future video, ask that below as well.
