Heard a great statement recently. “You can’t change the fruit unless you change the root.”
Wow, great thought. For a lot of us we think that continuing business/ life as usual will create different results. As the statement reminds us, if we don’t change our roots, our fundamentals, our outlook then expecting different results, expect really good fruit/ results, is a little insane. It will take a different road to get to a new location. If you do not like your journey as a department, as an owner or in your personal life then you must make some changes.
Sometimes it could be a major shift. A paradigm change. Something you were sure was true and always worked has now been exposed and does not seem to be bringing the desired results any longer.
Homework: take an hour this week and look at where you are and where you wish you could be, what results you desire, and start working on some new roots. Start challenging systems, processes, beliefs, structure, everything and see if you can identify a few things, a few areas where you could start making some changes. Where you could change the roots and see if you begin to see different and improving results.
You got this! Go crush it this week!
