Why Welcome Change?

Written by: Andrea Scott

Article Overview: Home business expert, Andrea Scott, discusses the importance of managing change effectively to create a successful home business. She shares specific strategies to assist in the process of welcoming change.

Why Welcome Change?

Change is everywhere! You certainly can't avoid it in internet marketing. Just when you feel that you've mastered a marketing strategy, the game changes. How do you manage the constant changes? You can respond to change in one of two ways. The first is to resist change. We all know people who resist change. They refuse to learn to use a computer, relying on friends or their children. These are the people in network marketing who tell you to focus on marketing to friends and family. This resistance is understandable for change can seem risky.

The other response is to welcome change and celebrate. If you are in network marketing, you would decide to learn online marketing skills to grow your business. Change is the name of the game in business these days. Adaptability is a key skill of the information world. Resilient people who welcome change will thrive. Those who fight it will struggle. Do you want to thrive or struggle?

As you think it over, you realize that you subtly resist change. That's understandable for no one is totally change resistant or always welcomes change. Most people fall somewhere in between resisting change or welcoming it. It's more important to know where you are in this range and where you want to be. Note the situations when you are tempted to resist change. Does it serve you to resist change in these situations? Will this pattern get you closer to your goals?

Since you've decided to welcome change, how do you do that? When you start to resist change, notice where that resistance shows up in your body. Do you clench your jaw? Or tighten your shoulders? Breathe into the tension. That is, take a deep breath and visualize the breath going to the tight spot.

Create affirmations that encourage you to welcome change. Tell yourself "I welcome change." "Change is my friend and it helps me achieve my goals." Say these affirmations throughout the day, especially when you feel yourself resisting change. Who do you know who welcomes change? Contact them and ask them how they would handle this situation. Visualize yourself handling the situation in a similar way.

When you welcome change, you'll notice that magic happens. Your life blossoms as you achieve your goal of creating a successful home business.

Re: Spellcheck? - [quote="TheAnonymousMan":2f894q6j]When discussing the majority of people I would definitely say that most people hit the "Change" or "Ignore" button without thinking too much about the correct spelling of a word. All bosses are concerned about is getting the report to the Directors meeting on time.[/quote:2f894q6j] That probably depends on what the "majority" are trying to accomplish. I have word set to alert me about misspellings and grammatical problems, so I fix most as I go. But I also add names etc to the dictionary because I get tired of seeing the red and green squiggles when I know the info is right. If you're only going to click "Change" or "Ignore" then why bother to take the time to use spell check????? Business people that I work for want the info compiled in a timely manner and they want it right - which is fine because that's the way I strive to do any project. Sending out a memo, letter, report etc with obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes makes the person and the company look bad as far as I'm concerned. Shri
Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - Hi GT It is only fairly recently that people in South Africa have been able to get full use of Paypal as we were only able at one time to make payments but not receive them. Fortunately this has now changed. I have received money through Global X Change for one of the affiliate programs that I promote and have found them pretty good as the money is normally transferred directly into my bank account within 2-3 days and I have not had any problems with them.

Re: Obama Wants Social Security for Illegals - [quote="Alan Mater":3kaa8sg4] Obama WILL make changes... but they're not the changes we as a country need or should look forward to.[/quote:3kaa8sg4] Sad but this is exactly how I feel about it. Change is coming - but unless I'm really wrong, it is not a change this country needs. Amazing how much a good speaker with a good speech writer can do. If you paid attention to the things he said "off script" - much of it is frightening. Chris
Are you an Opportunity Addict? - 1) if you find yourself saying yes without thinking about how it will affect your other priorities 2) you have over 10 projects/inventions going on at the same time and this seems normal to you 3) you have spent hundreds and thousands of dollars on manufacturing, prototypes, etc. not to mention thousands of hours of your time....but you havent followed through on any of it 4) most of your projects are falling behind or have completely fallen off your radar....which is fueling your frustration The first step in recovery is to recognize this as a pattern of self sabotage. If you are clear in what your overall goals and objectives are, you should be able to create a lens through which you measure opportunities. You create your life, and your to do list. Change, Add, Remove, Adjust time-lines - whatever you like. But remember that every piece of unfinished business - stays that way J
You are too young - I don't really believe (I've been into web designing for 7 years now... I started in 2000) there is any web design laws. Besides the fact that you can't use copyrighted images on web design without permission from the original author. Also, any web designs you do you may want to have it copyrighted so other's can't steal your idea's or whatever... of course, you can offer a "Copyright Change" option for a bit more money that will allow you to be able to transfer the copyrights and give exclusive rights to the purchaser. All in all, don't worry about the laws... you should be fine, just remember that if your in the U.S. that if your making over $400 (or maybe its $600) in revenue, you'll have to pay taxes to the government... and please get a LLC, although its not a big thing with web designs, you could get into legal trouble somewhere in the business. Lastly, use contracts for when your selling or use agreements to clear the air so that you can have a safe business and you'll have some backing up if you ever are taken to court.
