Sometimes, you have to take chances. Sometimes, the best luck comes to those who make their own. I am working on something radically new for Hinutech which can go one of two ways -- massive success or massive fail. In the next couple of weeks, I'll make a proper announcement as to what that something is.
This got me thinking, though, about the nature of running a business. It is very easy to sit back and rest on your laurels. It's easier to not take chances which could ultimately be a huge waste of time. It's easier to think that decisions you made 2 years ago were the right ones...even if the circumstances that surrounded them have changed dramatically. It's easy to be change averse.
If you don't change or take calculated risks, your business is destined for mediocrity. The old adage of doing the same thing multiple times and expecting different results applies here.
What have you done recently to mix things up? Have you recently scared yourself a little? If you haven't, then, why not?
