If you as a business owner worry that now isn’t the time to make changes in your business, think again.  Getting stuck in the ‘doing it the way we have always done it’ rut may feel safe but is safe going to grow your business?  Please don’t confuse getting out of your comfort zone with being reckless.  Getting out of your comfort zone might be putting a sales process in place for you or your sales people to follow so you can track real sales results.  Getting reckless is making calls to anyone just to  ‘make the numbers’.  See the difference?  The author of the following is unknown, but the words seem right on target. If you develop and nurture good habits, they in turn will make you. But like the weeds in a garden, habits that are not resourceful can take over your business. Make a decision today to pull those “weeds” and replace them with activity that supports you in your business:

I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.

I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.

I am at your command.

Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me,

For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.

I am easily managed, just be firm with me.

Those who are great, I have made great.

Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a

machine and the intelligence of a person.

You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.

Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.

Lead me. Reward me.

And I will then…do it automatically.

I am your servant.

Who am I?

I am a habit.
