Want to change but don't know how
“All change for Your New Destination”
Have you ever realised that something has to change? Maybe your customers are demanding something different. Maybe you’ve realised that your business model just isn’t working out. Maybe you want to spend more time with your children? There’s a plethora of reasons why change is necessary.
It can feel scary. It’s like we’re sat on a train and have to make a detour. The route has changed, and so has the destination.
And just like you’re standing somewhere unknown, it’s not a place you’re familiar with.
If you feel like this, you’re not alone. And don’t worry either, I’m about to share with you some tips to help you step out of your comfort zone and into this strange territory.
Oh no, the area beyond my comfort zone!
Why do you think that the space beyond your comfort zone is scary? Do you know what’s in that space? That’s right you don’t yet, but when you control what is there, you’re less likely to be fearful about it.
As individuals it does us good, although it sends our heart racing and palms sweating, to step outside of our comfort zone. It does us good because it’s here where we learn, develop, and grow. It’s also good for our self-esteem.
In business we should continually move with the times and embrace change in order to compete and remain profitable.
Tips to help you navigate change, smoothly and successfully:
1. Adjust your thinking
Recognise and accept that change is necessary for you to achieve the goals you set yourself.
2. Plan. Make sure you are clear on why you must change.
3. Communicate. Share your clear vision with people.
4. Keep your eye on the bigger picture.
5. Engage. Identify the people who will be most affected by your proposed changes, talk to them, listen to them, and get them excited about the future and to embrace it.
6. Confront the fears.
7. Keep the language positive.
8. Be accessible to talk to your customers or team members.
9. Seek support. You don’t have to go through this alone.
10. Celebrate every milestone to keep you motivated.
