Don’t Analyze What’s Wrong–Look for What’s Working!

It’s a fact: change is not easy!
So, how do you keep business on the up and up amidst a constant onslaught of challenges that require you and your business to change and adapt?
Watch this short video for some powerful tips from my good friend and author of The Solutions Focus, Dr. Mark McKergow.
You’ll learn, like I have, that one of the most important things a business owner can do to strengthen and grow their business is to operate on a daily basis by focusing on solutions. Mark always says that if a company focuses primarily on problem, they become an expert at problems–instead, they need to focus on solutions!
After you’ve watched the video, come back and leave a comment to let me know which of Mark’s tips was the most valuable for you.
If you refuse to change then you refuse to grow. Change is usually uncomfortable and scary… that is why many don’t due it until forced to.
Read the book “Who Moved My Cheese” or look at this video. It really illustrates how change is worth it almost all the time

Great suggestions. Thanks Ivan and Mark. Made me think of a couple of quotes;
“Change is inevitable, Growth is optional” Also one you talked about, “Focus on the Solution, not the Problem”. I used this quote in a recent article I wrote for the Atlanta Business Chronicle titled, “Now, more than ever, we need to CARE”. Like Mark said if we focus on the problem, we stay in the problem, if we focus on the solution, we become part of the solution. Thanks again.
