So you have built up your online business with some amazing tools and excellent content in it. And yes you have had your successes. You were proud. But at a certain stage it seems you can’t get any further – you are feeling stuck on this plateau. So in this exact moment many of us feel tempted to try harder what we have done before. But there is a big danger in it. As Price Pritchett put it “If you stake your hopes for a breakthrough on trying harder than ever, you may kill your chance for success.” In his wonderful book “You2” Price describes a fly trying to escape the living room by trying harder and harder always hitting the living room window again and again, while struggling until it dies. So that’s a nice little metaphor for our efforts in improving our online business. Let’s not be “the struggling fly”, but do a step to the side and rather leave through the wide open front door.
So don’t try harder doing what you’ve always done. More intensity and determination will only get you to the results you’ve always got…again, again and maybe you even burn out at some stage without having improved your business.
Rather, try out new things and ignore the usual. If you want to make a “quantum leap” and be more successful on another level in your online business, you should ignore the usual approaches and change your paradigm. You cannot expect different results doing the same things over and over with more struggling effort. So even a tiny change can grow into a massive change in your online business.
It`s the butterfly effect at work: little change in the initial conditions somewhere, can be a huge effect in the outcome anywhere else later.
So if even a little change in your habits can make a huge difference in the outcome, how big would your difference in the outcome be if you change a lot? It would be a big difference of course. And isn’t that what you’re looking for after feeling stuck at the end of the day?
Of course there will be some changes which won’t be successful adjustments. But you can still eliminate those later. It is very unlikely that all your changes will be unsuccessful. Just try out new path and you most certainly would get different results. Take the good ones and eliminate the bad ones. Then change things again if your outcome is not improving.
But don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting to changed everything in a radical way – you can still use systems which did work well for you. Never change a winning system. But as we started talking when you were feeling stuck – so some things obviously don’t bring you to the next level. So at that stage try something new. Uncommon situations demand uncommon actions. Be radical only if your old system isn’t working at all and you need a radical change.
People interested to read more details about this should read Price Pritchett `s excellent books “U2″
