Its Always Worked Before-Discussions around the need for change - Pt 1

Okay I know you are doing okay, you have your strategies in your back pocket that you pull from and use each week. So really status quo is good and these things have always worked before…

Now why should you change and is it even important? Because the world we're in won't let you stay as you are or arrive. Did you know the world is changing faster than ever before?...and as Jack Welsh said, "if the change on the outside is greater than the change on the inside, the end is in sight". So, how can you tell if you have arrived? Well, for starters, any change to your current reality becomes a threat to you and you defend the way you have always done things or your status quo. Secondly, other people who are changing will feel like they're against you. And thirdly, you begin to feel frustrated and out of control as what once worked is no longer working.

Let’s think about this.…Outside/outer changes begins with inner change, not the other way around. Inner change begins with intentions and desires to "be different" versus "do" different... you can't sustain doing different without being different. So what needs to change about "how you be" to create the change you seek in your outside world?

Read next week about what exactly is that thing called transformation, what can I change and how…
