BITCHING AND WHINING
Bitching and Whining is a critical entrepreneurial skill.
Entrepreneurship is a contact sport, and it most often played
alone.
Entrepreneurship, whether in business entrepreneurship or in
Life entrepreneurship is an
attitude and inspiration to take a different road, to try the
new, to be in leadershipintegrity or to take risk or to try to
change the world, or at least one's own part in it. And
even if one is surrounded by companions, partners and employees,
there are moments of
upset, of question, of vulnerability, when the path feels like
faking it, or full of aloneness,
or bearing the burden of everyone else's burden.
The Road Less Travelled Can Be a Pain in the Butt
What is entrepreneurship? Entrepreneurship is a road of business
leadership, struggle,
excitement, steep learning curves, failure, betrayal, passion
and pain. It all goes with the
turf od business browth and business development. And it's easy
to forget that the
entrepreneurship road one is on is the path of one's own
choosing. It's easy to forget that
with the ups come the downs, with excitement there is anguish,
and with hope, there is
fear. Growing a business takes leadership, management skills and
peronal development.
Keep a Stiff Upper Lip?
And throughout it all, everyone is depending on you, including
you, for business growth,
business panning, startegic planning and business coaching. But
who is there to whine to
or to bitch about solving problems with? And in today's
politically correct, iconic
leadership-centric world, bitching and whining is a sign of bad
leadership, poor
management, poor manners, poor sportsmanship, victim mentality,
bad karma and
generally childish behavior. Isn't it?
Bitching and Whining
Baloney. Bitching and Whining is entirely underrated. It's an
entirely natural activity that if left unexercised will often lead
to burnout, repressed anger and other negative symptoms
of bottled up emotions. Entrepreneurs aren't heroes. They are
people, dealing with very real and challenging situations that most
have not experienced before. They need business
help, business caochin,business consultingand strategic planning
to achieve business growth. Frustration, denial, exhaustion, anger,
upset, confusion and just about every other
dilemma and emotion are part of the heady soup that
entrepreneurs swim in every day. And just when it all seems to be
figured out, the target moves.
Venting is Natural
Some natural venting is in order. Indeed, it's essential. During
business growth, business dveloment , perosnal transformation and
business tranformation, Keeping a stiff upper lip as
an entrepreneur can lead to very real dangers, such as false
entreprenerial leadership, entrepreneurship depression, and
inevitable crises of confidence when the faade cracks,
which it will eventually.
Venting Alone is a Waste if Time
But, who does the business entrepreneur turn to in order to
therapeutically bitch and whine, without going to a therapist, or
taking it out on his or her family or being a burden toclose
friends? And how does an entrepreneur learn to bitch and whine
positively, professionally without becoming addicted to it or
exhibiting childish behaviors in public and creating
a crisis of confidence? Personal develoment, business growth,
business planning, strategic planning an decision making are
bsuiness mastery skills that few are taught. It's hard (and

dangerous) to bitch and whine at your Board of Directors, when
you need business advice and bsuiness coaching It's easy to bitch
and whine at employees, but it brings negative
consequences in turnover and a problematic corporate culture.
And there is a fine line between blame and bitching, and denial or
victimization and whining.
Who's Going To Listen?
Perhaps more importantly, where does the entrepreneur turn to
for some healthy bitching and whining without being catered to or
coddled in narcissistic support? Where does the
entrepreneur find empathetic understanding and listening with
constructive push-back.? There is nothing worse than an enabled
whiner, especially a CEO. But it happens all the time.
Entrepreneurial leadership requires support, like decision
making skills, management skills, Leadership skills and business
coaching and business consultingsupport.
Bitching and Whining OptionsThere are a couple of options. A
good mastermind group is one. Gathering a group of strong people to
mastermind issues with is a solid form of professional bitching and
whining
combined with solutions building. Mastermind ing has been a
hidden secret of all the best bsuiness leaders for over 100 years.
A good business coach or business consultant is
another. A bsuiness coach or business consultant can be a great
sounding board for constructive bitching and whining. The key here
is business competency and business experience.
Professional Bitching and Whining
Genuine empathy is critical to the management of professional
bitching and whining. If the business coach or business consultant
isn't experienced as an entrepreneur and hasnt
walked in the entrepreneurial management shoes, chances are they
are offering consolation rather than true inquiry, empathy and
understanding for the dilemmas of the bottled up
entrepreneur bitcher or whiner. And if the buisness coach or
business consultant isn't skilled at listening, reframing or
perspective management and comprehensive solutions building,
then apparent therapeutic bitching and whining management can
end up as simply a paid gripe session. Experienced inquiry is
key.
Bitching and Whining Problem Solving
The business coach or business consultant also has to be able to
weather the emotional storm of the venting, so some critical
business coaching skills and bsuiness consulting
competencies in emotional management are key. Understanding
emotional intelligence is a basic. Moreover, bitching and whining
can be an opportunity to discover unresolved
business conflict management, problems with business decision
making, organizational design dilemmas, business leadership or
bsuiness management challenges and other potential
subsurface yet substantive issues that the entrepreneur may be
unaware of, but attuned to subconsciously. Entrepreneurial
management is a comprehensive business management
skill.
A good business coach or business consultant can "unpack" a
bitching and whining session to get to the underlying issues. And
finally, the coach or consultant needs enough business
and management consulting seniority to be able to have the real
authority and respect to interrupt the bitching and whining much
like a coach or a sensei must have the true
credibility to stop a team player's or junior martial artist's
unproductive emotionality. It took a great coach to overcome
Michael Jordan's lone wolf mentality and behaviors to help
shape him into a legend of basketball. The same applies to the
process of helping shape great entrepreneurs.
Bitching and Whining Constipation Is Unhealthy
Bottled up bitching and whining is a common mistake for most
entrepreneurs. It's fine to gripe about a football game or a social
interaction, or even family, but it is somehow taboo to
complain about one's own business. The results are unhealthy,
resulting in pathological bsuiness leadership characteristics and
unhealthy group dynamics. The costs can be very high,
even disastrous, personally and organizationally.
So go ahead, Bitch and Whine. Find an outlet, and let it go. But
do it professionally and master the art of therapeutic
entrepreneurial bitching and whining. If you don't know how,
then
hire a good business coach and start practicing the martial art
of entrepreneurial management.
