Is what was working not working?

Oct 23 - Is what was working not working? Have you realized success through a certain way that you have approached an endeavor that is no longer reaping the results it once did? Do you find yourself perplexed by stagnant progress when you have been putting forth a great deal of effort based on past successes or achievements?  Are you frustrated by the fact that what once worked seems to no longer be working, and you now are uncertain what your next steps should be?

The world of business is constantly evolving. What was a sure bet before may require a bit more ingenuity or resourcefulness now. Too often, when we get settled in a certain way of doing things, we may be making assumptions that are incorrect. Understanding what is worthy of replicating in your process, and what may be an ever-evolving process is important to distinguish. Allow your mind to embrace even greater wisdom. Empower your mind to see beyond the surface. 

 

Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to your situation from renewed perspective. When comparing then and now, what is different that you may be overlooking? What are you assuming that should be confirmed? What are you anticipating that should be acted upon instead? Who can you bounce your situation off of to help you see what you cannot seem to see? We can easily get caught up in basing our moves from surface-level activity versus going deeper into understanding the underlying nuances affecting outcomes. Dig a little deeper and you will most likely know exactly how best to proceed or shift.
