Change Leads To Confusion But It Is Necessary
By admin | August 7, 2009
Yesterday was the weekly cleaning for the turtle tank. Not a pleasant job but a necessary one. This always leads to the turtles rearranging some of the items and the war continues each week.
This time I really did them in. I moved the ramp to the opposite side of the tank. Now there was nothing added to the tank just their main seat moved. This created total confusion for over 3 hours.
Normally as soon as I finish adding the fresh water back they are up on the ramp and relaxing. They are never happy while I am changing the water and it tends to tire them out. Immediately getting up and basking is the norm.
It was over 3 hours before they figured out how to get up to their spots. Everything was backwards and it was funny to watch. Just by reversing things it caused some real confusion.
The same thing happens when you try and change things in your business. It may be the same thing from a different direction but it confuses you.
Unfortunately this is why a lot of people just keep doing the same thing over and over. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
You really need to be changing and adapting to grow your business. The way to do this is through testing and tracking. Overcome the confusion and just do it. Not sure how grab my free report Tracking Your Way To Profits.
Unless you make changes and test them you will never improve what you are doing.

Although those turtles seem to be dumb once in a while, they sure can teach us all something new.
I have found myself “stuck” in a certain mindset/pattern, and I have to make sure to realize it and change to see a bigger picture.

Mike, I don’t generally need to change to be confused. But I agree that we need to be changing and testing. I am just getting into testing.

Sounds like you messed them up real bad this time Mike!
I for one have to agree with Lonnie as I feel I am in a constant state of confusion.
I realize that change is a must and that we need to track the changes to see what works and what doesn’t, it just seems to be overwhelming sometimes.
I do like your ‘Tracking Your Way to Profits’ and definitely need to spend more time on this.
