Someone leaves your team, and you start looking for their replacement. An offer runs its course, and you start figuring out what you\u2019ll sell next. You delegate something that gives you back 10 hours each week, and somehow those hours quickly get reallocated to something else... Sound familiar? As business owners, we\u2019re naturally great at solving problems and moving things forward, so when something opens up, our instinct is usually to figure out what belongs there next. But what opens up if you don't rush to fill that space? I\u2019ve been thinking about this a lot since getting back from a trip Mallorca, where I intentionally gave myself far more open, uncommitted space than I normally do. What emerged from that experience reminded me how much can become visible when we give ourselves enough capacity for something we couldn\u2019t have planned for. In this week\u2019s episode of Scale Differently, I explore: Why we\u2019re so quick to fill every opening in our businesses What leaving something open makes possible in your business Understanding the key difference between a void and an opening My personal experience in Mallorca and what came out of the open space Why your best ideas and opportunities aren't always pre-planned We spend a lot of time making sure we have capacity for the unexpected problems that inevitably happen in business. But what about leaving capacity for the unexpected magic? You can\u2019t receive something new into a space that\u2019s already full.
