Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” By that definition, are you crazy? Do you run your business like you’re insane?
What do most people do when what they’re doing isn’t working? They work harder, right? That’s insane. If something doesn’t work, doing more of it won’t solve the problem. You need a completely different approach.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Am I where I want to be?
- Have I made as much progress as I wanted in the last 12 months?
- Have I tried different approaches and strategies, or have I been doing the same things over and over again expecting different results?
Remember: change happens when you do something different, not more of the same old stuff.
