How do You Know if You’re in a Comfort Zone?
A good place to start answering this question is to look at how you operate. Are you operating essentially the same way you have for the last two, seven or 11 years? Sure, you’ve made some changes such as new people or technology upgrades, but these aren’t the things that fundamentally control your business. If the way you operate hasn’t evolved, you’re likely in a comfort zone.
I know of people who prided themselves on running their business in the comfort zone. They are no longer in business. One bragged how he had been doing business the same way for 40 years and he planned to continue to run it the same way for another 40. The problem was his industry and customers weren’t the same as they were 40 years ago. The customers and industry changed, he didn’t, now he’s out of business.
Another former third generation business owner I know blamed outside circumstances for his demise. “I thought we were doing fine. Then one day our industry shifted and our business closed.” In today’s new economy, you can’t afford to rely on “fine.” You have to deliver extreme value with a definite plan and backed by a specific purpose.
Joesten Change Management arms business leaders with the plan and purpose needed to move beyond the comfort zone and onto the path for sustainable growth and success.
