Is it time to “shake things up”?

Upside Down
Now more than ever, business owners are looking for ways to stand out from the crowd, to have their message be heard above the “noise” of so many marketing messages.

One of the best ways I know of to get “unstuck” and create something brand new is to do the opposite of what you’ve gotten into the habit of doing.

We truly are creatures of habit, from the way we tie our shoes to the way we run our businesses.

Ready to “shake things up” and get unstuck? Ready to create something brand new?

Here’s a simple solution offered by Annharriet Buck,which she calls Buck’s Theory of Contrasts

If you have been sittting,stand
If you have be standing, sit
If you have been traveling,stay home
If you have been home, travel
If you have been teaching,learn
If you have been learning,teach
If you have been talking, listen
If you have been listening, talk

You get the idea. Unhook yourself from your habits and shake things up. i promise you will see things differently open yourself up to new ideas and feel better in the process. All this translates into fresh new thinking both personally and professionally.

Time to get unstuck and do things differently. I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts! What are you inspired to do differently this week?
