Change, the Only Constant
There's a Chinese proverb that is more relevant today that
ever before: "If you haven't seen a man or woman for three days, look them over
very carefully when you next encounter them, for they will have changed
dramatically during that three-day period."
More changes are crammed into every day of our lives than our grandparents
experienced in decades - and this process is just beginning. Every 15 seconds a
new website is launched! Every 15 minutes a new technological breakthrough
occurs! Every 15 days a new product or service is introduced, that didn't exist
before! Consider for a moment that the musical greeting card you ordered via the
web has more computing power than existed on the planet when the first satellite
went into orbit in outer space.
Consider the computer's impact. Designed as a tool for managing complexity, it
also adds complexity, just as freeways add more traffic. The computer enables us
to sort, store, retrieve and transmit information with ever-increasing speed.
But the faster data can be analyzed, the faster decisions are expected - and the
greater the pressure to reach them. And the computer's efficiency is hardly lost
on our competitors. They utilize them to produce goods and services of
comparable quality, for less money.
As this year flies by, welcome change rather than try to resist it. Learn how to
make change work for you rather than against you. Develop unique strategies and
skills that enable you to create opportunities from challenges. In response to
rapid change, introduce it in the form of new business systems, pricing, and
marketing that increase effectiveness and efficiency; create new products and
new services; lower costs and encourage ideas to enhance productivity.
In everything we do, there are more choices available today than at any other
time in history. To become the "brand" or "person" of choice, give others what
they want in a time-starved world. Save others time and money, and you will gain
more time freedom and wealth.
This week embrace change and make it work to your advantage!
-- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within Weekly Article
Become a Student of Change by Dr. Denis Waitley
As the world becomes more interconnected, events outside
your industry and career have an impact on your business,
your family and your pocketbook. Whatever your daily
routine, it takes place in a larger context of social,
technological, political, economic and cultural change. To
be successful today, you must understand that world. Without
that you won't be prepared to innovate; you'll only be able
to react and to avoid.
Many people will tell you it doesn't matter how
well-informed you are. "You can't do anything about it
anyway," goes the refrain, "so why bother to find out about
things?" Here's a newspaper editorial that sums up this
attitude:
"The world is too big for us. Too much going on, too much
crime, violence and change. Try as you will, you get behind
in the race. It's an incessant strain to keep pace and still
you lose ground. Science empties its discoveries on you so
fast that you stagger beneath them in hopeless bewilderment.
Everything in business and life is high pressure. Human
nature can't endure much more!"
This newspaper editorial reads as if it were written last
week. But it actually appeared more than 168 years ago on
June 16, 1833 in The Atlantic Journal back in the "good old
days!"
How can you avoid becoming a casualty of the "bad new days?"
Take the offensive. Instead of "stewing," start "doing." Pay
attention to the early warning signs of change. Look for
changes in your industry, your family life and your region.
You cannot innovate if your understanding of change is
misinformed, incomplete or outdated.
Success in the new era is heavily dependent upon innovation,
creativity and solving problems for which there are no
precedents. While new technology is often the driver of
economic and social change, the real opportunities are
created by individuals who apply technology in new ways.
Fred Smith, operating outside of the airline industry,
created Federal Express because he saw the trend of speed in
delivery of goods and services.
Your success depends on how well you think. You are not paid
to collect, sort, store or retrieve information, although
you do these things every day. You are paid to interpret
that information and create and implement new ideas. Ask
yourself:
• What can I offer that "they" aren't offering? Where's the
niche that hasn't been developed? How can I add value to the
service or products I promote?
• Where is the market inefficiency? What would make this
process more convenient? How can I do this less expensively?
• What would people pay for that isn't available now? Which
consumer groups and Internet communities are the most likely
prospects who want what I provide?
• What trends will change my and their assumptions about the
quality of life?
Breakthrough ideas often occur when you are calmly searching
for opportunities. They rarely occur when you are anxious
and frustrated.
So close your eyes and dream!

(This excerpt was taken from Denis Waitley's newest release,
Safari to the Soul)
If it weren't for time, money or circumstances how would you
choose to spend your life? What do you enjoy doing most that
you're not doing now? What special talents, skills and
knowledge do you have that you're not fully employing? What
is your core passion that has little to do with your
financial pension?

4. The Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Welcome to a new topic in our Winner's Edge Coaching
Tips. Over the next few weeks we'll work on conducting a
personal inventory of your "Knowledge Resources".
Self-knowledge has always been the key to preparing for
competition. Knowledge of your attributes, abilities,
interests, strengths, weaknesses, and traits is essential to
riding the front end of the wave of change into the new
century. To fully assess your own talents, realize that
studies confirm that what we love and do well as children
continues as our latent or manifest talent as adults.
Examination of your weekend or evening interests might
reveal a gem of potential you can apply to your vocation. I
strongly suggest you don't unthinkingly relegate what you
love to do for yourself solely to hobbies. You might make
it, or at least integrate it into your life's work.
Action Idea: An excellent benchmarking exercise is to spend
a weekend with key associates or family members and dust off
your childhood memories. Remember what you really enjoyed
and wanted to do most as a child. The next activity in
assessing your interests is considering your current ones.
What do you most enjoy after work? What do you most want to
do on weekends and vacations? What are your hobbies? Can you
bring more of what you enjoy into your business life?
Next week we'll cover the second portion of your inventory
list. Until then, take a look at what you love to do and see
where you can incorporate those things into more areas of
your life!
