Winning Through Change
Instead of resisting change, we must thrive in it. It is human nature to fear change, as it’s definitely followed by anxieties and insecurities that can be awfully powerful, but in those key negative moments, train yourself to pivot.
Change is inevitable. Change is constant. We experience change every day, it is a part of our daily life; it comes in different forms, from the ever-evolving advances in communication technology, to the unfortunate passing of a loved one, developments in cures for diseases, to letting go of a bad relationship. Personal growth is a result of change.
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
– George Bernard Shaw
Be fascinated with change, I know from myself that my attitude towards change has significantly improved my outlook on life. Instead of resisting change, we must thrive in it. It is human nature to fear change, as it’s definitely followed by anxieties and insecurities that can be awfully powerful, but in those key negative moments, train yourself to pivot. Think of all the positive outcomes that are on the horizon.
A big part of winning through change is how you adapt. In the business world, one can correlate change with innovation.
"Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough."
– Elon Musk
In business, the market is changing at a pace never witnessed before. The constant growth of consumerism has led many organizations to improve their service and products, innovation is crucial to remain in a state of growth.
Listening to the market is an easy and vital way to help your business adapt to transformations in market behaviour and the industry you align with. Pivoting and adjusting your current means to attract new business and penetrate existing business will open up more paths for success.
Surrounding yourself with other likeminded individuals who embrace change, creates an environment where your mindset is constantly in a state that enables winning through change. Part of the success of winning through change is being willing to fail in the process.
At Roma Moulding, we’ve noticed that the industry continues to rapidly evolve. Sometimes these changes are a result of the movers and shakers if the industry, or the behaviours of consumers. The market at large dictates the direction of the entire industry.
Change can put you in a state of hindrance or growth. Some embrace it (Tesla, Amazon), some fight it (HMV, Nokia), some ignore it (Polaroid, Blockbuster).
It’s your choice, which side will you be on?
