It's hard to know what you don't know...

This is a statement I overheard in conversation recently, and it made me laugh (whilst also giving pause for thought).  It IS hard to know what you don't know, especially when you're trying to keep all the "plates spinning" at the same time (as many micro business and SME owners know only too well).

The reality is: the plate spinning exercise requires adjustment, review and focus... which requires time.  That's the only way you can truly understand what it is you don't know and need to know.  Often, I hear the complaint of: "I can't spare the time"... my question is this: is your business, project or endeavour not worth creating the time?
