“Most people would rather have a problem they can’t solve to a solution they don’t like.” - Lee Thayer
Is this not the truth? I would rather blissfully eat my favorite carmel ice cream with heath pieces sprinkled on top than have someone remind me that it might make me fat…or worse yet…that it isn’t good for my arteries. So sometimes I just pretend that I don’t know those little inconveniences and eat it anyway. Sound familiar??
So often we do the same thing with our businesses. We know that it is hard to follow a process than it is to stick to our “randomness” and see where it takes us. Why implement systems in our business when it might be more like eating spinach than ice cream? Why? Because eventually the spinach makes us healthy. It gives us energy and strength to build on and long term health that we and our businesses need. So why don’t we just do it?
