I saw a partial on this quote the other day and it really struck a cord with me. Then I googled the quote to ensure I gave proper credit if it was original. And it was. And there was more to it, which made me like it even more. With it being the start of a new year right now helps make it even more impactful.
“If nothing changes, nothing changes. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to keep getting what you’re getting. You want change, make some.” – Courtney C. Stevens, The Lies About Truth*
Why did this quote strike me so? I think because although it is so simple, it is also SO TRUE. So much truth in five little words “If nothing changes, nothing changes.” It isn’t like we don’t KNOW this already, but seeing it right there… Bam!
It is so true for so many things. Need to lose weight? You can’t lose weight if you don’t change something. Unhappy in your job? Doing nothing gets you exactly that – nothing. Do you want to learn a new skill? There is no magic pill you can swallow.
If nothing changes, nothing changes! This applies to businesses, too. Do you need more clients? Do you want more brand recognition? Does your website not get enough traffic? Well guess what… Nothing about any of that will change unless you do something to MAKE it change.
So do it, make a change. It doesn’t have to be a big change. Maybe you just drink an extra glass of water. Or maybe you spend 30 minutes a day watching a LinkedIn Video. Or maybe you schedule out a month of Facebook posts for your business. Or you can go big! Take a course, start a weight-loss jumpstart program, redesign your website. So many opportunities!
If nothing changes, nothing changes. Remember it.
And if I can help, let me know.
