Work on a Continuum
Wikipedia defines continuum as “anything that goes through a gradual transition from one condition, to a different condition, without any abrupt changes.” Hmmmm. I don’t really do anything gradually. And I never thought of viewing things on a continuum. To me everything is on or it’s off, it’s good or it’s bad, it’s at one end or the other. Seriously? A good tweak of that position would serve me well. As a friend told me today, I need to find an internal dimmer switch!
Here’s what this is going to mean. (I think!) I am very good at seeing problems people have in their businesses, and very good at quickly coming up with ideas for fixing them. By putting the idea of a continuum to a solution, I will probably come up with lots of good alternate scenarios and solutions. Timelines will be more apparent and adjustments can be gradual, allowing easy shifts to plans. Yea!
That’s it. Just wanted to share this new thought process with you. Won’t you share something about what you might be tweaking in your OWN business?
