Messing With Systems

The planet has designed
systems that have allowed it
to flourish.

One small slice of an example,
vegetation feeds on nutrients
in the soil
to grow.
When that vegetation dies,
those nutrients return
to the soil.
And that allows more vegetation to grow.
This cycle repeats forever.

When we f*ck with that system,
the system tends to break.

In this example,
we mess with it by
bagging our grass clippings
instead of leaving them on the lawn
when we mow.
Then we send those grass clippings
off site.

Those nutrients no longer
return to the soil.
They aren’t available
for the grass to use.
The grass dies,
basically,
of starvation.

And we wonder why
our lawns look ragged.

One of the first things
many new entrepreneurs want to do
is break or change
the system.

Before you do that,
know WHY that system
is in place
and how it functions.

Learn what
the consequences will be
if you change or break
that system
BEFORE you do that.

Think it through
before making the decision
to break the system.

Changes Create Advantages

The average person
finds change stressful.
That’s normal.
That’s expected.

But for business builders,
change is often
VERY, VERY good.

Change creates gaps
in markets
that we can fill.

Large companies
can’t adapt quickly
to change.
There are too many people
and too many systems
to modify.

I can change my entire business
in a couple of days
if I wanted
to do that.

If I see a hot trend
in publishing,
for example,
I can release a book
in a month or less
to speak to it.

Large New York Publishers
would take
years to play in that hot selling niche.

Small businesses
have advantages
larger competitors
can never match.

Use those advantages!
