Keeping the Change Process Cool
In this hot summer weather, life is all about staying cool. If you
are managing change you may also need to find ways of keeping the
change process cool – people can sometimes get a little over heated
about change!
For people to make significant changes they must feel some heat with
the current situation! People will not usually change until it gets too
hot where they are. On the other hand, humans have a built in desire to
stay the same. In medical terms, the process of seeking balance is
called homeostasis.
Our body temperature regulation system is made up of homeostatic
mechanisms. When our temperature becomes elevated our body compensates
by cooling us down through sweating—so we can get back to our normal
98.4 degrees. If we push our body too far, and our temperature gets too
elevated, then we become sick with heat stroke.
So here is the change management tip for these hot July days: don’t
push change too far and too fast. Allow time for people to adjust
psychologically and physically and arrive at a new balance. If people
experience the pace of change as too hot, then reduce their temperatures
with metaphorical buckets filled with cooling information about why the
change is necessary and how it will affect them.

I think seeing that the glass (i.e. market or opportunity) is only half full is a good mindset to have rather than looking at the sheer number of competitors.
I would have to agree. I think this is a great thing to think about in almost any situation, whether home or business. As I mentioned, attitude is 95% of the battle. Keeping it positive is the only way to get the things you really want in life. Helping others helps, too. See the quote in my signature.
