Working With Our Unique Surroundings

My enjoyment regarding gardening
increased substantially
when I stopped
fighting my unique environment
and
started
working with it.

I have squirrels, for example.
Years ago, I planted
hundreds of tulips.
The squirrels LOVE tulips
and they shredded every single bulb.

I then did my research
and uncovered squirrels dislike daffodils.

I planted a few daffodil bulbs.
The squirrels left them alone.
The daffodils flourished
and multiplied.

Years later,
I have beautiful Spring beds
filled with daffodils.

Because I worked with
my unique environment.
I didn’t fight it.
I didn’t try to change it
into something it wouldn’t naturally be.

I suspect right now
you’re fighting some aspect
of your business’s environment.

It could be walk by traffic
consisting of people
who speak another language.
Or a social media platform
that suppresses posts
with certain keywords.

If you figure out a way
to work with that aspect
(you hire an employee who speaks
that other language, for example),
business building
will be MUCH easier.
