In life and in business, change can be tough to accept. But it's not just something that we all should do - it's something we have to. Tabatha gave us a few great tips on how we can get our stubborn selves to adapt a little more easily.
- Be open to change!
If things aren't working, a change to your operations may be necessary. Deciding what it is exactly you need to change may be harder than it looks. "It's like a diet," says Tabatha, "Don’t change everything all at once - pick the things that are the most important and focus on them first." It's best not to expect things to change overnight, either. "If you make a change, let 21 days pass for the change to become habit." Then reevaluate how it went.
- Don't be afraid
"Fear paralyzes people," warns Tabatha. Doing nothing may seem like a comfortable solution, but it is almost always worse than trying to make something different. The key to taking the step is asking yourself, "What's the worst that can happen?" The honest answer may surprise you - and help you take that next step. - Be objective
Try to look at your circumstances with a fresh perspective. If you're unable to do that yourself, "get client you can trust, ask them - what’s wrong here?" suggests Tabatha. If you can’t be objective, get someone who can be objective. You have to be prepared to receive an opinion as well, though. Being honest is a two way street. "Embrace change and be bold," implores Tabatha.
