Many Choose To Let Business Die Before They Choose Change

road to change

Change is something we all resist…but if you are not growing your business and people skills, your business will not survive….it will die!

No one gets into business to fail right?

 
Here is the thing…when you decided to make money from home, did you understand that you were getting into a leadership position?

 
Did you know that this would be the beginning of a journey on discovering exactly who you are?

 
The first thing to change is you…the leader.

 
Now consider how hard it is to change your own mind…trying to change others is a task that seems impossible…but it is a true test of a leader.

 
OK, I hear some of you already, I am not here to change anyone…but the fact is we all influence others everyday, and we do change minds that are open!

The first mind that needs to be open is you, the leader.

 
It all starts and falls with the leader!

 

Here is a challenge for you…get your pen out and write the answers down… don’t resist, get the pen out:

How have you changed lately?

 
How about in the last week?

 
The last month?

 
The last year?

 
Be specific!

 
You say you have changed in many ways…OK now name the many ways!

You see, the more you change, the more you become the door of change for others.

 
Don’t let your own attitude about change hold you back from success.

 
Some of the most simple things put before us we resist for many reasons.

 
One big reason is, if someone does not own the idea, even if it will help them, they resist it.

 

Try this… write the word change with your right hand, now write it with your left hand.

 
Look at both, you will notice the hand that you do not normally write with is how you look at change…it is a mess!

Change makes us change our habits, and we are creatures of habit….so we resist.

 
You must be willing to be the one to step out, be uncomfortable, take the heat, and lead your team to success!

  1. Anyone who lets their business fail really did not have that positive mindset from the start. It will take time, money, and often be very tough. Starting and running a business is a challenge that takes someone open-minded, positive, and ready to take anything on, even if it means starting over when there is failure.

    1. Hello Nile,

      Mindset is SO important when someone decides to work from home.

      I will share with you, that self development was far from my mind.

      I, like most, started a home business to make money, time freedom and more.

      No one wants to fail in a home business.

      I like to share with people that it is going to be a journey of finding out
      where we are strong and where we may need help.

      It will be a team effort:)

  2. Taking leadership is important. It is amazing how quickly people will change their mind and come into agreement with us when we are clear and absolute about something.

  3. Hi Alice,

    Yes working from home can be a challenge learning to focus on work and not drop everything because of domestic disruptions.

    It is great that you are writing about the importance of the right mind set to succeed which is so important in these times.

    May I wish you a very happy and prosperous 2013.
