Stagnancy is death

The first draft of my daily posts are usually pretty rough.

It often takes several passes before the idea becomes clear in my mind, let alone “on paper”.

It’s no different with any other area of my business. I’ll be refining what I until my last day on the job.

Your business is a living organism almost in the same way you are.

As soon as you stop innovating (growing), your business starts to stagnate and then decline.

Stagnancy—in nature and in business—is death.

You can either lean into change or simply hang on to the things that are working in the hopes you don’t lose them all.

But you can’t do both.

Staying in business requires forever innovation, iteration, and change. It’s not easy, but that’s the natural order of things.

When is the last time you took a meaningful leap of evolution?
