What are you and your business becoming?

Do you realize that you and your business are always changing? What I find amazing is that we spend so much time attempting to get ourselves and our businesses to a position of familiarity - actions that we feel comfortable with. We do this because it’s human nature to want to feel like we are in control.

Usually though, if we are in a position familiarity, we get ourselves lulled into a false sense of security - and that’s when we start to fall behind. You can read endless stories about people and organizations that were at the top of their game and then came crashing down, all because they stopped changing.

When something gets to be familiar, it’s usually time to examine it and see what needs to change. That doesn’t always mean change to doing something different. Sometimes change can mean doing what you are familiar with, only better - small changes that enhance a strength.

So the questions for you this week is this - What are you becoming? What is your business becoming? What’s familiar and comfortable for you? What needs to change?
