“Are You Water?” I recently had this question run
through my mind after working on some issues for one of our clients. The reason
it ran through my mind was because the issue I was working on was one that was
going to require a “suck it up” kind of answer.
As a business consultant we deal with many issues
that businesses go through but mostly they are people issues. I will save
discussing those for another time as they would require writing a book to cover
them or
a volume of books (I think I found my next big project)!
Hmmmmm……
Keep in mind that your business is just like
regular life, just on steroids. You have to get so much done in a day in order
to achieve the success you are after, you have to cram a lot of life into a
little space and still have a life before heading home to your “regular” life.
So how do we make it a little easier, how do
we lighten the load just a little?
For the answer to this we need to turn to a
little science. Our bodies are something like 60% to over 70% water (it may
feel like 90% at times until you find that next rest stop but I digress).
The Force Be With You - Literally
Think about how water works, what it does, how
it does it, etc. Without water we can’t exist. Without water our blood wouldn’t
flow, our brains wouldn’t work, our kidneys would cease filtering and on and
on. Water is a wonderful, life sustaining requirement. It is also extremely
powerful and it literally cannot be stopped.
We can slow it down by damming it, rerouting
it, thickening it, and a whole myriad list of things we try to do to stop
water. We even build walls thinking that will work, but to no avail.
What does this have to do with your business?
EVERYTHING!
Everyone has issues in life; we certainly have
them in our businesses. Those that are successful learn how to get through
them. Those that are extremely successful or ultra-successful are the ones that
have figured out how to do this quickly and effectively.
Stay Liquid My Friends
How do they do this? They remain liquid. When
they run into an obstacle, they try their regular tried and true methods to get
through it but if it doesn’t work they don’t waste time whining, or getting
upset with themselves or others, they get to work.
They look at the issue from every angle they
can, the meet with their best and brightest, they meet with those that are in
the midst of the issue on a daily basis. Once they have everyone’s input (they
get their input quickly, they don’t spend weeks or months trying to build
endless committees, this isn’t the government), they set a plan into motion and
then they get it done.
In other words they are like water. Water will
always find a w ay to get around the obstacles it faces. It may go around, it
may go through, it may go over or even a combination of all of these but it is
going to get through! Once it makes its way it usually grows to be so
overwhelming that virtually nothing can stop it. You can do the same thing with
your business and your life - IF you are like water!
You Can’t Be Stopped
So the central question to all of this is “Are
You Water?” If you are water, you will find a way to go around, over, under
through or all of the above your obstacles. But never forget, if “You Are
Water” you will make it and become a force that cannot be stopped – so stay
liquid my friends!
