The new and improved you

Whatever is new today, whatever is the latest and greatest, will soon be replaced by something better. Someone will come up with a bigger, faster, cheaper version of today's hottest must-have product.

For instance, one of the fastest-selling smart phones on the market is the Samsung Galaxy S4. It's a fantastic phone, and it looks great.

Now I see that Samsung is out with a Galaxy S4 Active. This version is water proof (up to a meter of water) and dust proof. It will be great for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.

What's next? A phone that cooks breakfast?

The point is that our market place is driven by a need to out perform what we already have. You may have a perfectly fine product or service, but what improvements can you make? What can you offer that's new, interesting, maybe even exciting? How can you make it more attractive to a new group of potential customers?

How about your own performance? Are you waking up today with the same routine, same agenda, same outlook as every day that's gone before? Any new ideas or goals?

Even slight modifications can make a big difference. Going out of our way to notice someone we haven't paid much attention to, changing up that proposal, rearranging our schedule to have more time to plan. 

These are the tiny things that can make a difference.
