Give up on change ... it's not going to happen Print E-mail

What if your GP told you that you needed to make some real and major changes to the way you think and act (lifestyle and dietary activities)?

If you didn't your time here would end considerably sooner, and the time left would be more difficult and uncomfortable.

Do you think you could change?

Yes ... you say
Ok ... are you really sure about that?
Absolutely yes


What if I told you you were deluding yourself?
That you probably wouldn't change anything.

Ok so you don't believe that? I didn't either.

You want the odds?
Here are the odds, the scientifically analysed odds ... nine to one. That's nine to one against you. How do you like those odds?

Major Life Saving Surgery Doesn't Lead to Life Style Change

Go figure ... you have coronary-artery bypass and you need to eat and exercise differently afterwards ... but you don't.

Here's Dr. Edward Miller's take on this ...

"If you look at people after coronary-artery bypass grafting two years later, 90% of them have not changed their lifestyle," Miller said. "And that's been studied over and over and over again. And so we're missing some link in there. Even though they know they have a very bad disease and they know they should change their lifestyle, for whatever reason, they can't."

That could spell bad news for creating a bigger future for your self and your business

If the mass of people facing horrendous health issues can't or won't change, what hope is their for business owners seeking to make changes in their business?

It depends
On what?

Research funded by a US health insurer into hearth bypass patients discovered that by having regular connections with people facing similar challenges, over a 12 month period, meant that after three years, 77% of the patients had stuck with their lifestyle change.

There is the other side of the story.

If regular connection over a year making small steps leads to a 77% change in heart bypass patient success, why not the same for business.

The most important challenge for businesses trying to compete in our turbulent world is human change. The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.

Small is the next big

  • A fruit fly has almost exactly the same number of genomes as a human
  • Chipanzees have only two different genomes than humans

These two facts show that the small things count
That small changes can make a huge difference

Even 1% can make a big difference

Improve by 1% a week, and in just 70 weeks, you're twice as good

Three questions that each of us need to answer and act on ...

  • What 1% factor can you change in yourself this week?
  • What 1% factor could those who work around you change this week?
  • What sort of an impact could that have on your business and those it serves?
