You’ve developed a number of clever systems to help you churn through your work. If you’re not careful, that efficient streamlining can lead to routine. And routine can lead to a rut. And a rut… well, a rut leads to a mediocre business that you hate.
So, spend five minutes playing crazy what-if. Get a stack of cards or Post-Its and write down ways you could totally shake up your business.
- What if you wanted to advertise your service to seniors?
- What if your entire staff quit and you had to carry on?
- What if you suddenly had $7396.38 extra to spend on your business?
- What if you had superpowers?
- What if you got ten times as many orders?
- What if you had to make one product inspired by a Meatloaf song?
- What if you couldn’t lie?
- What if your favourite celebrity visited the store?
Now what you’ll likely got out of this exercise is five minutes of fun, and a more creative mood, and that’s all (and that’s enough!). But… you might come up with one idea that’s revolutionary.
So what ideas did you come up with? Tell us in the comments!
