Now that we have that out of the way, let’s turn to the question of ‘why’ people change. Understanding the ‘why’ is the first step in the challenge of engaging people in the organization in the change efforts. If you miss this one, you’ll miss lots more and your efforts will never get off the ground.
There are two reasons and two reasons only that people change. One is inspiration, the other is desperation. People are inspired to be different or they are forced through some form of desperation. Think about it … people change primarily around events like marriage, birth, death or a health crisis. Let me explain.
Several years back I was an alcoholic. I started drinking when I was fourteen years old. Growing up in a small town in Ohio, seventy-five people, and we had one saloon. If you could get your head over the bar, you could get served. My friends and I used to gather up soda bottles for two cents each and cash in a quarter’s worth and buy a quart of Carling Black Label. That was my

Every year thousands of online businesses fail. None of them begin with the idea they’ll fail, in fact they have high hopes of success, but they fail all the same. One of the main reasons for the high failure rate is an over reliance on one marketing channel…the Internet.Marketing isn’t about using one medium. It’s about getting and keeping customers. Yes, Internet marketing can help you can do that but only if you use it in con

Can we inspire teens to choose to do something with the same methodology that convinces them not to do something? For example, does the same decision-making process lead to teens buying $15 Starbury One basketball shoes and to not buying the designer $130 Nike Zoom Kobe I sneakers?

This makes them great at one or two aspects of their business but often lack the knowledge and skill in other areas.

Fast forward a little over a decade, I’m late twenties, married with one child and still drinking out of a fire hose. My time in Nam as a Marine sniper didn’t help matters and after six years of marriage my wife had had all the fun she could take. Long story short, one day my wife punched me in the mouth and said, “Me, or drinking … make a choice!”
Well she changed my life and in that moment of desperation I made a choice … I changed. But I tried for years to change out of my own inspiration and each time I failed.
