Get Comfortable With the Uncomfortable

One might actually say “the new norm” is constant change. That being said, how do you prepare yourself and more importantly your business? Here’s the thing what has historically been common for most people is they get comfortable with their life, including their business. The problem that may arise from this is that you continually do the same thing, the same way day after day. Why change it up? Things are OK; I’m comfortable and I don’t like change or anything outside of this comfort zone. You may want more out of life, but you don’t like being uncomfortable so you settle.

The Leader in Time of Crisis

“Leaders become great not because of their power but, because of their ability to empower others.” – John Maxwell When you’re business is at risk, it’s easy to go into survival mode. The panic sets in and you’re thinking about all the responsibilities lying on your shoulders, including all of the people you feel depend on you. Quite often in these times the feelings you’re struggling with don’t match your actions. To others, you might come across as only caring about yourself or the bottom line.

With the Biggest Challenge Can Come the Biggest Leap

It goes without saying that this time in our country is probably the biggest challenge most business owners have ever faced; in fact, we’re so entrenched in this moment that it may be difficult to remember any challenges we previously faced. If you can’t recall your biggest challenge before now think about when you originally started or bought your business. You spent a lot of time figuring things out, determining what worked and what didn’t, worried about cash flow, felt the fear of potential failure. And yet, somehow you made it through or at least made it to a point of survival.
