When running your own
small business it is usual to have standard procedures and set ways
of doing things. It’s called business efficiency. After all,
it’s the logical way to do things and we’ve always done
it that way and it works.
The problem is that
in a small business, it’s easy to form habits and become set
in our ways. We resist change and so do our staff (if we have any).
The small business plods along okay as everything steadily changes
around it. Then day-by-day, making a profit gets a bit tougher.
Customers become more demanding, competition increases and it becomes
harder to make a living. We all know what happens next, even if
it does take a few years, until the inevitable end. The fact is
it doesn’t need to be like that.
As a small business
entrepreneur, the best way to ensure continuing business success
and job security is to embrace CHANGE. It doesn’t matter how
big, or how small, a business is. Without change the tendency is
for the small business to become sluggish, even bureaucratic. It’s
easy to lose the sharp business edge and become slow at making decisions
and taking action. Then there is the tendency to avoid any situation
that might hold even the slightest element of risk.
My advice to any small
business entrepreneur is to keep your mind open to change all the
time. Welcome it. It’s only by examining and re-examining
your opinions and ideas that you can progress.
Become A Champion
Of Change
Rather Than A Boiled Frog!
If you
can remember back to your high school days you may recall the ‘classic’
biology experiment using a frog. It goes something like this. You
put a frog in a pot of cold water and then gradually turn the heat
up. What happens? The frog does nothing! It just sits there without
jumping out as the water heats up. The frog will ultimately be boiled
to death.
That is similar to what
happens in many small businesses. They get hurt in the market place
before they wake up. It’s the "she’ll be right"
attitude.
In my opinion it is
better to become a champion of change rather than a victim of change
(a boiled frog!). I agree that change is difficult for all of us
and that’s why we all have a natural tendency to resist it.
This can be especially true for the small business entrepreneur.
Yet like it or not,
we are living in one of the most exciting periods civilization has
ever known. It is a period of astounding and radical change. An
era of unprecedented rapid, accelerating change... the "Golden
Age Of Opportunity"..."The Greatest Entrepreneurial Boom
In History."
There are more small
business opportunities than ever before in history (particularly
on the internet). These business opportunities are HERE!
NOW!
The thing about change
is that you really have no choice. Resist it and become a victim
or you can decide to become a champion of change and capitalize
on it.
To become a champion
of change you need to break out of your comfort zone and try new
things before you are forced to.
