Morning Motivator - What's Your Pain Tolerance?

"When the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of change, then you will change."
-Anonymous

A common idea of change management is the ELIMINATION of PAIN. As the quote above states, most people will lie IDLE until their pain (financial or emotional) becomes GREATER than the efforts to change.

When you see someone that has a weight concern, it is not until they FINALLY are sick and tired of being sick and tired that they make a change. The change is often PAINFUL, including emotional acceptance of their current identity, changes in physical actions and SACRIFICING their "favorite" foods.

For business professionals, the CHALLENGES come in the activities we undertake to achieve NECESSARY results. If we are having challenges hiring the "right" people, then we must examine what actions must change. If its slumping sales and missed revenue GOALS, a focus on more PRODUCTIVE activity must occur. Yet, it is not until we see a DECLINE in performance before this often occurs.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
The question you must ask yourself is "What is your PAIN?"

Do you need to FINALLY take that accounting class so you can understand your finances?

Is it time to consider OUTSOURCING your IT management because it requires more time than you have?

Should you consider paying more for BETTER talent and HIGHER results?

Once you IDENTIFY your pain, you can do an evaluation of your options. With CONSIDERATION of what's truly important, you should find that moving on those pains is often long OVERDUE...

Cheers,
Zach
