It’s surprising what a pile of rocks can teach you.
I was dusting my office the other day and discovered several bags of beach rocks I’d collected, but hadn’t yet incorporated into a display I have in my office.
The display is for my favorite rocks. (don’t laugh at me – I LOVE collecting rocks)
As I added to my display, I started to run out of space and realized I was going to have to trade out some of the old rocks to make room for the new (better, more beautiful) ones. Which got me thinking…
The same thing happens in business. In the early years, you start “collecting” opportunities, systems and strategies, and they are great at the moment. But as time goes on, you find better opportunities.
And things start to get crowded.
So you find yourself having to either cram everything in, OR make some tough decisions to leave behind things that early on were perfect, but now… just aren’t good enough.
Do you really have to leave things behind?
Yes. Absolutely.
Because they’re crowding out new and better opportunities.
I’m wondering – as you read this, did anything pop into your mind? Maybe a decision you’ve been wrestling with about leaving something behind?
