KISP - Ep 120 - The Kiss Of Death

"We've always done it this way, so this is how we will continue to do it." Or "I have always done it this way, so I will continue to do it this way". I call this the kiss of death. Did I hear you asking why? Because thinking that a process or a system or the way in which you do something is perfect and can never be improved is the fastest way to kill your ability to deliver or to kill you business. By constantly questioning the way in which you do things and the way in which things are measured, you're instilling a "culture" of progress or development. There is no such thing as the perfect way to do things. If I ask 100 people to come up with a way of getting to 100, you'll find that the possibility for them to reach the number 100 has quite possibly millions of variations and possibilities. So why then, in business do we constantly look for some kind of holy grail of the way things are done and then never veer from it? Hey, howzit going? Thanks for tuning in to the Keep It Simple Podcast with Byron Ovenstone - where my goal is to help you get from where you are, to where you want to be with each episode. Episodes are released Monday through Friday. In general this podcast will be business focused and it will touch on life lessons I have had the privilege of learning. At times I may go off the beaten track so don’t be alarmed. Please note - I have been known to get pretty passionate and heated so expect to hear some bad language from time to time. The music in the beginning and the end of each episodes is by JOMARS and the track is called Adventure (Original Mix) - it can be found on Soundcloud at the following link - https://goo.gl/zCTuUq If you love the podcast and want to get your paws on some of that sweet, sweet KISP merchandise, it can be purchased at - https://t.co/VK3RIeM0nT I hope you enjoyed today’s episode.
