Executive Business Coach Chuck Boyce’s Blog: Don’t Fear Change

CHANGE.

It’s a word that can sometimes conjure up the feeling of dread for even the strongest of people. The world we’ve all built for ourselves can feel so warm and safe. But in the business world, it’s those who embrace change that are able to be at the forefront of their industry, and that’s how you reach the levels of success you’ve always dreamed of.

If you’ve dedicated yourself, and become a business owner, you should be proud of where you are today. It’s a nice feeling being the boss, and you deserve all the accolades in the world for showing the guts and initiative. But you cannot spend your time patting yourself on the back, and resting on your laurels, because your competition certainly won’t. They’ll be scratching and clawing for what you have. Always trying to find the next big thing. And to maintain and grow your business, you need to be on that ship when it sets sail.

Sometimes these changes are simple, like when you figure out what types of marketing are working better than others, and you tweak your plan to focus on those areas. But obvious as it may seem, this is by no means unimportant.

Spending your dollars more efficiently is always the better way to go. You can’t continue to beat your head against a brick wall just because you thought one advertising medium might work. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. And if you’re reading this and thinking to yourself “how do I know what types of advertising are working best for my business?” then you need to make a change in the way you keep track of that.

Changes can also be more difficult and confusing. Remember when the internet first took off? The people creating websites were making money hand over fist. Entrepreneurs themselves. But any business with good foresight jumped in with both feet, and rode the wave.

Now the internet is a huge part of everybody’s daily lives in both the business and personal world. It’s not a question of if your company has a website, but how often you update it. And trust me, the internet isn’t going to be the last technological invention to change the world.
