Changing the Game

Guest post by: Rebel Brown

Article Overview: Changing the Game can save our butts.

Changing the Game

Changing the Game is one of the best ways to Defy Gravity. Just look at the post from CEO Randy Seitz - who is changing the game on his non-profit business. He's transforming his dependent-on-charity non-profit into a profitable non-profit. Now that's changing the game!

Changing the Game can save our butts.

I just had to share this again. I love this video - for all that it teaches us. This little pig Changed the Game on the Queen of the jungle. The result was, well - see for yourself.

How often do you change the game?

The world changes all around us, every day. Sometimes opportunities to change our business game come with new and shiny products, markets, customers and a happy fanfare.

Sometimes we are forced to change our game as part of a crisis or upheaval.

Changing the Game empowers us to grow and improve.

When we look for a new way to play our 'game,' we ditch the status quo and seek new ways of doing, being, and thinking.

Changing the game can take a market by surprise, propelling us to leadership.

Changing the game can leave a competitor wondering what hit them.

Changing the Game can be the difference between winning and losing - for ourselves, our businesses, and our dreams.

Think what we can do when we change the game!

Re: I will be away - Hi Guys Thanks for the good wishes. I had a really relaxing time and as soon as I get caught up will upload some pictures of the Big Game we saw on some of the drives. No lion GT as these parks are privately owned and they don't want predators who will eat the herbivores that they have paid a lot of money for . Saw some elephant though and rhino which was great.

How She Does It - Interesting to see what are the most popular threads in this folder, judging by how many hits each thread gets. There must be a lot of moms out there who want to start businesses. I'm currently reading How She Does It: How Women Entrepreneurs are Changing the Rules of Business Success, by Margaret Heffernan. Some interesting statistics: Between 1997 and 2006, privately held businesses owned by women grew at 3 times the rate of all American privately owned firms, women's companies are creating jobs and growing profits at twice the rate of all firms and are responsible for more payroll than all of the Fortune 500 companies combined. This book tells the stories of a few women who have made it big...recommended reading so you know that "you can do it, too."
