To Change or Not To Change, That’s The Question?

With a new year that has already begun, change is going to happen; good or bad. In business or personal, now you must figure out how to cope with, challenge, instigate or embrace change.  Too many times we think of change as something to fear but change doesn’t have to be negative or hard. You can define change as a positive challenge that helps you grow.

You can take on a new project based on your enthusiasm for the challenge. You can start a new project or challenge by examining your mindset :

A.}  When you live inside a growth mindset, your world can expand.

B.}  If you live inside a status-quo mindset, your world can be limited.

Let change help you to discover new possibilities for the future. Start to map out your future by reflecting over past mistakes & successes. Write them down to help you see things clearer. See what you can eliminate or include in present or future business plans/ goals. Breakout of old mindsets, old habits & comfort zones. Sharing your aspirations with others can help you to affirm your commitment to action. So take action steps for change today!!

Map Out Your Future

You can do this in a diagram by taking a piece of paper and drawing a circle (label it your Comfort Zone) , then draw a bigger circle around it (label it your Desire). The goal is to see where you are, what you are holding on to, what you can let go of or what’s on the other side.

1. Place specific issues in your Comfort Zone or your Desire Zone. The ideas that are waiting to be born are your Desires. Try these catagories :

A. Big Major Goals

B. Business Challenges

C. Aspirations

D. Leadership

E. Business Growth

D. Opportunities

2. Identify the challenge that you are facing in each area.

3. Write out 3 steps that you can take to move forward in each area.

4. Write down 3 main resources that you can use to move forward in each area.

5. Identify 3 metrics for success; What result will give you the greatest satisfaction ?, How will you know when you are successful ?, How will you celebrate the milestones ?

6. Repeat the steps again as needed to stretch your aspirations.
