Change is Good

One of the biggest differences between a successful business owner and one that fails is the reaction to change.

Change can be scary, especially if it involves your artform, something that is often very personal.

I am not suggesting that you change your entire company structure or chuck everything for a new direction every time something doesn't seem to work. I am saying that in order to grow as a business owner as well as an artisan, you must be open to changes.

Many of my coaching clients know that something needs to be done to push their company forward. They are asking for something to change and when I give them a suggestion. The gates just slam shut. They wanted to change something, just not their website or logo or approach to interviews or their prices.

The next time you realize something isn't working for you anymore, take some time to figure out why and then be open to the idea of making the changes needed to fix things. Just because you have always done something a certain way or because someone, sometime told you to do it that way doesn't mean it is right for you anymore.
