Why Change is Good, Even When It Feels Bad
We crave stability, so change (even positive change!) is often met with resistance, even by the person initiating it…YOU.
We see change as a threat, triggering old survival instincts, making us avoid it even when it’s necessary.
- Complacency is the bigger risk: Staying the same while the market shifts is how businesses become irrelevant.
- Sparks innovation: Necessity is the mother of invention. Change forces you to find new solutions, products, etc.
- Growth requires discomfort: True for your business AND you personally. Embrace it as the price of the next level.
- Builds resilience muscle: The more you successfully navigate change, the less scary it becomes over time.
- Prevents surprises: Proactive change you choose feels less chaotic than being forced to react to external circumstances.
- Identifies weak spots: When things shake up, you see where your systems (or mindset) let you down…leading to improvement.
What positive change are you most proud of making in your business, even if it was tough at first?
Is there a small change you’ve been resisting? Do it today! (New software, tweaking your offer…something manageable).
