The acceleration of change seems to be getting even faster, especially when it comes to new media. I
speak on change and never run out of things to talk about. There is so much that's possible today that we couldn't even imagine a few short years ago. In some cases, even more recently than that.
PublishingI am now in the process of narrating a
new audio book through an arrangement worked out entirely online. I submitted the audition, received approval and am now well into production without ever having left my home or without ever having spoken to anyone.
There's so much being written about change these days that, if we're not careful, our eyes will glaze over. How many times can you hear about embracing change or dealing with the challenges of change?
Yet, even if that's so, we still have an awfully big elephant in the room: the need to deal with change. The reason we hear so much about it is because it's so very real.
So, I would encourage a simpler approach.
I recently spoke to a retired businesswoman whose sons still run her company and wondered aloud about how they're doing in the wake of the ailing economy.
She proceeded to describe that they had launched several new ideas this summer to attract new business, and it seemed to pay off. It was a wonderful reminder that we don't have to accept the status quo.
We may still be mired in a terrible economic climate, but that doesn't mean we have to sit by and doing nothing. Here are three quick ideas:
How's your stomach? Still a bit queezy after this up and down roller coaster ride called the stock market?
Prepare for more of the same frenzied activity in days to come. That's the way it always seems as the market turns volatile and investors get nervous.
So it is with the rest of the world. Unemployment remains high. Politicians are at odds. People are scared. Life just doesn't seem at all pleasant or predictable. So, what's important?
None of us is perfect. And yet, some of us actually try to capitalize on our imperfections by using them as a built-in excuse when things don't work out. Have you ever thought about that?
We say things like, "Well, that's just the way I am," or "I could never do that," or "You don't understand, I'm not..." And on and on the excuses go.
