We can change
Whether or not you like President Elect Obama…
I think it’s safe to say that most Americans are excited that change is finally here.
One thing that stood out to me this morning watching inauguration coverage, is that we can change. A couple hundred years ago there were slaves being sold in the place where the crowds have gathered in Washington DC. 144 years ago a civial war raged across the United States partially over slavery. 50 or so years ago black americans were considered second class citizens. 41 years ago Dr. Matin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
Yet we as Americans can change.
We elected an African American to be the President and leader of our country.
We can change.
The question is… are you willing to change?
You might say, Ben, what does this have to do with my business?
It has EVERYTHING to do with your business. What kind of baggage are your bringing into your business on a daily basis? What kind of fears and doubts or anger are you bringing into your business?
Can you change? or a better question is… are you willing to change?

Ben,
I like what Churchill said about change: “There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.”
Change is not a one-time thing. He also said, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”
As it relates to business and social media, here’s my slide show on change: http://is.gd/gA0B

I agree with Tim’s comment. Change is good when it is in a positive direction and if the change produces a successful outcome.
I agree with you Ben. In order to find success, sometimes we have to be willing to make some changes. I know with me I had to come out of my shell and quit being so shy. You have an awesome blog here. Thanks for all the great advise!
