Reinvention Comes from Disruption

When you become stuck in the same routine, you start to see the same results over and over again. While that can be to your advantage in some areas, growth comes from change. Without a variance in your routine, you eventually reach a point of stagnation. If you want to experience new results, you have to take new actions. The simple reality is that reinvention comes from disruption.

Many people view disruption as a negative or chaotic thing; however, a disruption just means the introduction of something different. This can range anywhere from implementing a new marketing strategy for your business to changing up your main product or service. If you’re unhappy with the current state of affairs in your business or with your own personal state, it might be time to consider reinventing your way of doing things.

Albert Einstein famously said that insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” To reinvent yourself or your business, you have to let go of what you are used to doing. This requires you step outside of     your comfort zone and take a chance on going in a new direction. The period of adjustment between your old and new ways can offer insight into your attitude, thought process, and adaptability. You really get to know yourself and what you’re capable of when you experience change.

The deeper your understanding of self becomes, the easier it is to lead yourself effectively. Not only does this benefit you but it also sets a powerful example for those around you. In business, we often look to one another to gauge how to react to things, how much effort to give, and how to navigate challenges. This is especially true during times of disruption, or change.

The next time you start to notice a plateau in productivity or positive results, remember that change is healthy. It helps you grow individually and as a business. Embrace change because after all, reinvention comes from disruption.
