Re-energize Your Organization

You keep doing the same thing(s) over and over. You have a routine to handle all of your business matters and these sets of behaviors have been in place since the birth of your company.  So you believe you are good to go.  You become complacent and then gradually things fall apart. All of us have fallen into this trap. 

If you do not reevaluate and/or revamp your routine on a regular basis (at least every few months), your approach might become stale and less productive. What once worked may no longer work for you now. Things change, situations change, people change, customer’s needs and preferences change, social media changes, but you have not changed. The status quo might be preventing you from gaining a new client, inhibiting a creative breakthrough, and/or achieving operational efficiency. 

Think of your business “behaviors” as though it is a new exercise routine and diet combined. When you first started your new routine, you were excited about it (ideally). You were energized and saw results. Seeing results rather quickly is a big motivator in both exercise and in business. You now have been doing the same exercises and on the same diet for months, maybe even years, but your progress is minimal at best. 

You need some help. Since you have come to the realization you cannot do it on your own, you hire a personal trainer and a nutritionist to guide you in the quest for better health and fitness. You now have two outside perspectives analyzing your daily habits (both good and bad), providing you with feedback to help you forge ahead. Your habits were tweaked (if not completely changed), you see results, giving you an increased sense of optimism and a high level of success you thought was no longer possible.

As for your current business:  It may be similar to your former diet and exercise plan…a lot of effort, very little results. You feel as though you can do better, but do not know how. It is okay to need help in business. Everyone needs help at some point. It does not mean we are failures, it means some of our behaviors and mind-sets are not as useful as they once were. 

Your organization and/or business require the same care as your body and your health. Maybe you need a new set of eyes, with expertise in various subjects, subjects in which you may know very little about.  You might need someone to point you in a different direction and help you re-energize your business.  Do not think of it as diet (diets are temporary); think of it as a lifestyle (work-style) change.
