Can I
see of show of hands of everyone who likes "change".
I'm referring here of course to changes in your life,
changes in your office or changes in your community.
Hummm, I'm not seeing a single hand raised. I think it
safe to say that the majority of people don't like
change.
Now consider this - have you
ever wished things were different, like your
appearance or your relationships, your clothes, car,
house, salary/job, etc... Why aren’t thing changing,
why aren’t they improving?
The answer may
reside in the reality of our resistance to change. “If
you change nothing … Nothing will change!”
Now
what in the heck does this resistance to change have
to do with technology you may be thinking? A lot -
especially if you're the business owner or if you're
responsible for the success of a department. Your
resistance to change is directly impacting your
growth. Almost guaranteeing stagnation.
Take
for example... if you wanted to improve operational
efficiencies with managing inventory, it may be time
to change from using your "familiar" accounting
software to using an actual inventory control software
package. If you want to better manage your sales
process, it may be time to change from using that
"familiar" email program and start using a real
relational contact management system. Or, if you’re
frustrated with that friend or relative who's offered
to help you with your website or take care of your
computers, but seems to only work around their
schedule, it may be time for a change.
Change
doesn't have to hurt and it doesn’t have to break the
piggy bank, but it does need to occur and it will
occur with or without you.
