The Feeling Fallacy: Why Your Business Doesn’t Care How You Feel

"I'll do it when I feel like it." It’s a phrase that kills more businesses than a bad economy ever could.

In this Monday Morning Motor segment, Chris Black tackles the dangerous trap of waiting for "inspiration" to strike. We live in a world obsessed with finding passion, but if you’re waiting to feel inspired before you fix a broken repeater or balance the books, you’re already behind.

Chris looks back at the pivotal moment in October 2024 when he signed the papers to take over Darden Communications Consultants INC (DCCI). That wasn’t a "feel-good" contract; it was a commitment to a 30-year legacy and his family’s future. Whether the coffee has kicked in or the fleet is down in the Alabama rain, the FamBoss standard demands discipline over mood.

In this 7-minute kickstart, we discuss:

• The Coffee Test: Separating the pros from the amateurs when motivation is at zero.

• The Legacy Check: Why your 70-year-old self will thank you for the work you do today.

• The 5-Minute Rule: A practical hack to beat the "blues" and get moving.

• Leading by Example: Why your kids need to see you bossing your emotions, not the other way around.

Stop waiting for the vibe and start laying the bricks. Legacy isn't built on feelings; it’s built on discipline.
