You want me to do what?

Most of the time, whenever we need to make an important business decision, we turn to what is convenient or comfortable. Why does it seem like we never want to venture out and try new things? Is it the fact that we know what to expect when using our current providers, even if they are not the best at what they do?

I think it’s human nature to keep doing the same things over and over again, using the same resources over and over, pushing ourselves over and over again.

Answer these 2 questions.

1.) When you shower, do you always wash in the same order?

2.) When you go on vacation, do you stay in the same place as

the last time or at least close to it?

What if there was a better way to do these things? to stay in better places? to operate a business?

Well, I think there is.

We have to be willing to try new and different things. Just because it’s different from us doesn’t mean it won’t work.

An example. I have been consulting for a company that is launching a new concept for companies to save money on printing and office supplies by making them members of a large purchasing group. Some companies saw the savings they could get, but didn’t try because it was unfamiliar to them. They didn’t want to learn a new way to shop, so they didn’t sign up. Companies that were willing to venture out and try this new model were successful! They started saving hundreds and thousands of dollars right away. All because they were willing to step out of their comfort zone.

My advice is this:

Be bold, be willing, and go for it!
