One of the biggest dangers to progress and grow, both personally and professionally, is holding on to what has worked for us in the past. We must understand the need for adaptation to know when it is time for a change, thus avoiding the blockage that occurs when you see that you do not get results. And this applies to both business and personal life.
The Internet has made what used to be for years now expire very quickly. This greatly affects business, and also the way we relate. Today we will see how to get rid of the blockade, and how to move forward to get good results again, accepting the changes we have to go through.
If something works 'better not meneallo' as they said in Don Quixote
Indeed, it is as dangerous not to change in time as it is to change before time. In our desire to progress, sometimes we can rush, innovating on things that work giving good results, without taking into account that this is a risk that must be previously assessed.
Whenever possible, do 'pilot' tests before changing a whole system that works, you will save a lot of time and avoid disappointment. I do not want to say that there is no need to make changes, today's businesses require continuous recycling in all areas, especially those related to marketing; and on a personal level they are also very necessary. But do them wisely.
If something has stopped working, it is time to change
Generally, it takes longer than expected to react when something stops giving results, because we are blocked. We tend to think that 'something has happened' that month, or that quarter… and we spend time waiting for it to fix itself. And this can work in a difficult month, August for vacations, September for back to school, January for… when it comes to sales; and for other reasons in different areas.
But from the first month you have to analyze what is happening, and if the second month remains the same, it is time to make changes without waiting any longer. Sometimes small changes are enough to adapt to new circumstances, and others it is the market or marketing itself that has changed, so we have to make big changes that adapt our business to market developments if we want to obtain good results..
Get the desired results, break your block
Keep in mind that nothing works 'forever' in the same way, because the world and life are constantly changing. When you accept this, it will be easier for you to assume the need to change, and this will help you to get out of the blockage that causes us to stop working. It is not serious that you fall into the blockade, it is a human reaction. The really important thing is that you get out of there at full speed.
Have this mentality in business, whether you are self-employed or someone else (if the business has good results, your position will be safer, and the expansion of the company will give you the opportunity to grow professionally). And do not lose sight of yourself, accept the changes as a natural process of life and you will avoid the blockage, or if you fall into it you will quickly get good results.
Both in business, as in relationships, our finances, etc. We tend to suffer resistance to change, due to fear of leaving our comfort zone. Reacts by leaving the block immediately, becoming aware of the need to change. It is the only way to continue obtaining good results.
“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. ” Winston Churchil.
