Think like the football players that are trying to make the team and keep up with your daily typing workout routines. Are you going to start setting up goals that you want to achieve? Are you going to write them down and keep a laser focus on them? It is easy to think about goals, but are you going to start inching towards your goals daily?
Change might be hard to implement. Just take a step back and think about some of the large companies that didn’t adapt to change. You might remember some of the big named companies from the past and now notice that they are no longer around.
Do you remember getting in the car and driving to the local video rental store to pick up the movies? Technology came into the space and shifted the whole experience. The internet opened up new doors and now, people can turn on the tv and press a few buttons and watch the vast online catalogs of digital downloads. Some companies might have laughed at the companies that were considering going digital and now, those companies are no longer around.
Change is always happening. Even when it doesn’t look like. Things are shifting. If you are not keeping up with the change, you could fall behind. Are you going to wait for the impacts to hit or are you going to start shifting your behavior now to try to get a head start?
It could be important to pay attention to the trends. There is risk in everything. You might pick the wrong places to focus. Some new inventions don’t pan out. The early adopters might not get it right. When is it right to play it safe and when is it time to make the hard shift? This is the big question and it all depends on you.
