I cannot wait to join the band wagon of change. It begins for me tomorrow at 10am. See you on the other side of the freeway!

Very applicable; my experience is that change is simple, but not easy. It takes deliberate action. In our business it’s a matter of helping our clients cope with and implement process to enable change (software), but equally important is change in our own business. Our own process, products and service is going through a transition just the same. I think we’ve only recently embraced it and actually “passed the lagging car”. Change is scary, but I’m having a blast right now.

This article and first response are spot on.

This is a great analogy, but I see it so many being the car with the blinker on. They sit in a lane that they are comfortable with knowing that eventually they will have to move over. They continue doing what they have always been doing becuase they abhor change. So inevitably they find themselves having to rush into a lane just in time to avoid a forced merge. This action is dangerous not only for them but those around them as well. I often remind people that change is what is necessary for growth. Change is what makes the difference between the successful and unsuccessful. Do not sit in your lane with your eyes on the road and think about how to avoid the changes that are inevitably coming your way. Do not turn your blinker on and then ponder and get lost in the paralysis of analysis. Recognize that a change MUST be made, make the decision to make the change and then execute the change promptly. Remember that there are only two stages of business, growth and death. Change is growth and blinkers are death. Make the change and grow.
