Change is Your Competitive Edge

CREATIVITY has taken the place of complacency.

RESILIENCE has forced the status quo aside.

EXCEEDING expectations has replaced meeting standards, and refusing to “get with the program” is a deal breaker.

Now more than ever before, the true character of a person (or an organization) has the opportunity to StandOUT from the crowd in a positive way.

If you want to succeed in an environment where dramatic change and new business strategies are the norm, then you must out-perform the competition, out-think old ideas, out-shine past performance, and out-maneuver anyone who says it can’t be done.

To make that happen, you must:

• Be mentally and physically prepared to compete and win in an environment where even instant gratification takes too long.
• Be determined to meet the challenges of a world that demands more, expects more, and pushes back harder than ever before.
• Have the vision, energy, ambition, and intuition not only to deal with continuous growth, but also to use it to your advantage to become more successful and more financially secure.
• Be determined to ACT, rather than REACT, when the unexpected happens.

As I've interviewed, spoken to, counseled, and listened to thousands of people across all industries, this is what I've heard:

• “The world is so different. It moves too fast. How can I keep up?”
• “Change is everywhere. As soon as I learn one thing, something else pops up.”
• “What do employers want today? Their expectations aren’t clear.”
• “What do employees expect from us? We are doing our best to stay competitive.”
• “Customers are more demanding, more knowledgeable, and less inclined to buy.”
• “People are losing jobs every day. What can I do to make sure I stay employed?”

Lots of Questions, but one thing remains crystal clear.

>>> PEOPLE NEED ANSWERS.

They need to understand what steps to take so they can live better, work sarter, be healthier, maintain balance, keep current, stay employed, make good choices, and...

ENJOY LIFE... all at the same time.

To StandOUT from the crowd will take a winning combination of skills, talent, attitude, knowledge, and commitment to survive and thrive in this fast-changing, super-competitive work environment.

In a world where change happens at the click of a mouse, one thing is certain: you can’t keep doing what you’ve been doing and expect outstanding results. Now, more than ever, you must StandOUT from the crowd.

CHANGE IS NOT A NEW THING. It’s been around for a long, long time.

CHANGE IS NOT THE PROBLEM. The real problem occurs when we’re unwilling to accept, initiate, and integrate different ideas.

Do you want to be safe and predictable? Or amazing and adventuresome?

RESISTING CHANGE will not keep good ideas from taking hold.

It simply makes the process longer and more painful for you!

At first, it may not seem that change is fair or logical, so you must be willing to look at new ideas, opportunities for continuous growth, and unique strategies with an objective mind and concentrate on the long-term benefits if you want to StandOUT from the crowd in a positive way.

Change can be your competitive edge, if you treat it that way.
