LEARNING FROM WET BABIES
Change is an interesting concept. About the only person who likes change is a wet baby. The reason is, for the baby, things get better and the baby doesn’t have to do any work. That isn’t usually the case for the rest of us.
Lots of people have a default position of, “I hate change.” The reason is that they are not convinced things will get better and they don’t want to do any work. It is the proverbial case of the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know.
The problem with that position of course is that anything worthwhile is something that you must work to achieve. Furthermore, once you forge forward in that work, the devil you don’t know never materializes or at least it turns out to be not as bad as you feared.
To keep your business profitable, you must change things occasionally. Ignoring the need for change is a big mistake. Just ask the Swiss watchmakers. They did not want to change, and digital technology made them obsolete.
Making a change to maintain or improve profitability is not only wise for business. It is equally wise for personal and professional growth. Let’s stay profitable.
