I’m amazed at how many things can be about business these days. From the business of motherhood to an office in a high rise, business continues to flourish, grow and change. Change seems to be the one constant in the universe. But keeping up with it can be a real challenge.

I’ve often wondered why that is. I think the real reason is that although we often hope for change, even work for it, we are scared of it and we resist when it comes. It’s hard to let go of our comforts and routines, even when they are causing us discomfort or struggles. They’re like the adult’s version of a baby blanket or favorite toy and we cling to them just as fiercely.

The mark of a good leader in any business is the ability to do what is necessary, especially regarding change; to look it straight in the eye and find new ways to adapt. It’s not easy, in fact pain is usually a factor. The good news is knowing the opportunity that comes with every situation. When you focus on that, when you starve the problems and feed the solutions good things happen.

I’ve had to make a few necessary changes lately as both a mother and business owner. I’ve had to give a little more space to my children as they explore some independence. I’ve had to let go of some business ventures online because there are just so many new options out there with blogs, etc. that I can’t possibly compete with and don’t really want to try. But even as I make these necessary changes I’m putting a smile on my face reminding myself that I’m simply making room for what’s coming next and it will be bigger and better!
