The Superbowl will come and go, but how will you stay in the game... not theirs. Yours! Will you, like so many business owners, do the same thing you've been doing and expect different results?
What if you had some refresher tips on "Going Pro" to move you from where you are to where you want to be? Here are 5 you'll want to take notes on and apply, but before we get to them, let's talk a minute about change.
Generally, people hate to change. That's why you'll see people staying in a bad marriage, or employees sticking with a go-nowhere company, or even kids resisting changes in their lives that unexpected moves, peer-pressure, and break ups can force on them. The attitude that most people have is that "change hurts", and usually it does, but not always, and not always for long.
The need for change is generally preceded by a feeling of discomfort, like being in pants that are too tight. You know you should loosen things up, but you don't want to admit you really need a larger size. Change can bring about a feeling a failure. After all, if things were going swimmingly, you assume no changes are needed, right?
Wrong. The first thing Business Owners need to do is to change their negative mindset about change. Change can be good, and those "iglings" you're feeling? They're just internal signals telling you that resistance to change will not improve your situation. Look at change as a chance to improve your life, your company, your environment and all of a sudden change becomes something to anticipate, look forward to and get excited about!
Change does not mean failure, nor does it mean you have to let go of everything you've worked so hard to put into place. It simply means opening your mind to new ideas, breathing new life into your company by following some relatively easy steps.
Okay, let's address those 5 key points I mentioned earlier that will make change not only bearable, but productive for you and your business:
1. Get help. No. This is not a shameless self-promotion. This is one business owner telling another me what I had to learn the hard way. You can't do it all. Those Superbowl hopefuls didn't get where they are without a coach working out strategies and plays, and your business shouldn't be without one, either. It's a fierce world out there, and a coach helps you stay at least two nips ahead of the sharks!
