When something isn't working

change it

When something isn’t working, we tend to have a few different ways we react.

  • We give up on things

  • We do nothing

  • We change things

Think back on your own life and experiences.

Which of these do you tend to move towards when something isn’t working?

I can think back to experiences for each of these in my own life.

However, as I’ve gotten older and have gone through more in life, I’ve seen that the only way forward is really to change things.

Giving up? You’re selling yourself and the opportunity short, and will never know what could’ve been. (Not to mention this can easily create destructive patterns in your life.)

Doing nothing? Maybe even worse than giving up, because you’re neglecting to take action that needs to be done, and you have likely become stagnant in—or delusional to—the dysfunction around you.

Changing things though? Well, I can’t say it’s easy or comfortable by any means…but what I can say is that it’s always well worth it in the end.

Does it step on some toes? Cause confusion to others? Lose some friends and relationships? Leave you feeling lonely? Rethinking every little thing?

Probably.

But if you’re not taking hold of your own life, then others will and that’s no way to be living your life.

When it comes to your own business?

You need to be ready to make changes as soon as you see and realize something isn’t working.

I’ve had to do this countless times…and am even currently doing so as I continue to move FP over to Beehiiv.

Here’s a real-time update on how I’ve implemented this in the past week, with Unearth | The Business You’re Made For.
