When tried & tested success techniques fail.

Life never comes in a straight line. Everyone starts his/her career with a face-off with huge challenges and hurdles. All of us have narrations full of our fighting spirit and reaching to the point in our career where we today are. But honestly, life does not offer us much of the time to boast of our success saga and the moment we meet our success point we are thrown up with a new set of odd situations and challenges on our face.  Over the period with the help of our success defining experience, we develop our own senses to identify the challenges. We develop our own guidelines and principles to tackle tricky issues and defies. We create a repository of tools and techniques behind our brain, which we use whenever we have an encounter with difficult times and most of the time we also get through the unwanted phase. Achieving success gives us much needed highs and we love to accept new challenges and use our expertise to hit the nail.

But what happens when none of our techniques seem to be working? What happens when our expertise do not seems to be strengthened enough to pull us out of the tough times? Well! It can be very unsettling and putting long hours with our head between our hands could not seem to be helping, but still there can never be a dead end in life. Life might look like a maze, but still we have the ways to get out the situation.

Here are few things that can really be very helpful.

Let’s move to the very root cause of the problem. The cause that lands us in a situation where nothing works is the sense of reaching to the point of success. The point where someone starts thinking that he/she has reached to the mark and gives a sense of pride of achieving and celebrating is actually a very dangerous point. This sense of achieving something actually comes with a risk of developing a sense that now everything can be achieved and can never fail. This gives us the sense that since ever you started your career you managed to go through every challenge and you are equipped with all required techniques to get out through the unwanted situations. But as they say, life never comes in straight lines. Set formulas can never be a guarantee to succeed. You can never be in a situation where you have inbuilt capacity to resolve the conflicts. Every situation and challenges in life come with its own unique characteristics. Time keeps on changing and what suited you 5 years back is not a guarantee to work now. There are rapid changes on the technology front. Disruptive innovations are changing the way of working. Employee & customer choices are changing very fast and thus not changing you and your way of working will attract doom for the business.

Entrepreneurship is not for settling down in a comfort zone.
Entrepreneurship is not for early settlers. Comfort of entrepreneurs is offering comfort to their customers. Customers’ needs changes as the time change and you should be ready to adapt the changes.

Welcome the tough time.
The spirit of entrepreneurship is to love and accept the challenges. You should be able to analyse the hurdles very closely & in detail and then devise a strategy to overcome.

Keep refreshing your marketing collateral.
Keep communicating new ideas, content and features through social media, websites and emails with your customers in sync with the latest technical advancements. Relying blindly on tested techniques is a major reason to attract failure. Refreshed approach is the key.

Continuous training programs.
Attending or organizing training programs help to expand the vision through new horizons. Knowing about perspective of other well informed personals always help to realign strategic approach.

Attending seminars & Events
Attending events and seminars helps to know what knowledge experts have to say.

Interacting & understanding customers on a continuous basis.

Customer loyalty has turned to be very volatile and holding a customer is as perplexing as acquiring a customer. Interaction and understanding forms the basis for a solid relationship between you and your customers.

Be the front runner in offering new ideas, services & products.
Offering new ideas & products is no longer a matter of choice, but it’s a necessity. This priority on innovation is forcing entrepreneurs to launch new and updated version frequently.

 In the rapid changing market, there cannot be any set techniques for success and the only ways to keep products and services meaningful is by updating on a continuous basis. Keeping tap on the latest trends and being active in the business ecosystem helps to devise new right strategic approach for the new tough times.
