Dear lovely people,
If you’ve read this article from Part I up to this
point, then by all odds, you’ve heard the expression "If at first you don't
succeed try, try again." This adage was created many decades ago
and it remains true to this day. And even though many people understand it, they
make the fatal mistake of using the same approach although their original
approach was not effective and so they fail after all the effort.
Some
ask themselves: Why change at all? Let me explain, if you are not evolving, innovating,
growing, or reinventing yourself and our processes, then trust me, you are predisposed
to failing. The world is filled with people who live in their dreams
and unable to transform them into a physical reality. Millions are those who
have grown organizations to great heights only to have their fortunes plummet
because they were unable to transform themselves or their businesses as times
changed.
Here is exactly what some people don’t like
to hear; it
takes time and an unbelievable amount of effort to take yourself or your
business to a new level. You just have to change constantly in order to
implement new processes, adopt new technologies, shift strategic direction, dump
strategies that don’t work, inject fresh thinking, or increase performance.
Change
can be painful and, unfortunately, many fall short of expectations. The good news is that a planned, focused, disciplined approach to handle
change whether at your individual level or in your business, can greatly
enhance the likelihood of success.
Once again, I agree that it’s critical
to keep trying in the face of adversity when you don't get your intended
result. After all, persistence is a key skill right? At the same time, many people who
are persistent don’t get the right results because they keep using the same
tired techniques. On the other hand, successful people know the importance of
persistence and equally know that the key is to change your strategy every time
you reach a brick wall.
