Morning Motivator - The Better Way to Do Business

"Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or doing it better."
-John Updike

Have you noticed a TREND in business? The leaders are commonly the people that were most SUCCESSFUL in their PRIOR role. Key word: PRIOR!

Often, it is a manager or supervisor that will tell you the BEST way to execute your role. This is a recycled version of the way THEY did it and found success. You will hear the same old theories, a trite suggestions, and UNIMAGINATIVE methodologies for success. Such garbage as "show up early and stay late", "it's a numbers game...make more calls" or "you have push your clients to make a decision."

Is there a BETTER way? What IS the better way to do business? I would contend that the BETTER way is YOUR way. If you THRIVE through educating clients - then conduct seminars. Should PROCESS management be your strong suit - helps craft programs for your clients to do more, in a better way. If you are a NETWORKING master - then build that database and leverage your relationships. Regardless, the PAST success of your "supervisor" is NOT always the best way for you to find the same achievement. Utilize your CREATIVITY and STRENGTHS.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
When you consider what YOUR best way of achieving your goals may be, REVISIT the comments you make to yourself consistently. There is a strong likelihood that you are consistently making comments about how you "WISH things were."

Why not TRY it once? If its marginally successful - do it again. If it fails miserably, then at least you are AWARE that your idea may not be the best... however, I assure you that if you do try YOUR WAY and find that it is NOT successful, you will simply tap into a deeper CREATIVITY and come up with a better idea of how you can get things done... your way!

Do not be AFRAID to be CREATIVE. Do not be afraid to FAIL. Failure is nothing more than the SHORTEST path to success... and CREATIVITY is the shortcuts through that maze.

Cheers,
Zach
