The trap that claims many entrepreneurs, artists and impresarios is that if something works (or doesn’t work today) it will work (or not work) tomorrow.
After all, the conditions are practically the same. Not much has changed. There hasn’t been a big alter in leadership or an increase in mechanical pressure. There’s not worse weather today and you didn’t wake up any later than usual. At face value, nothing went wrong yesterday and today’s not any different, so why be concerned?
Mainly because today is different. (Tomorrow will be, too.)
Ebbs and flows don’t happen over night. They happen over time with subtle, non-noticeable shifts.
More often than not, the consistency trap makes us lazy. We begin making assumptions instead of inserting check valves and analyzing how today might be different from yesterday. (Even more importantly, we need to assert foresight on how tomorrow might be different from today.)
Perhaps because nothing bad happened yesterday is all the reason to pay closer attention today.
It’s a number game, a statistical evaluation over a lifetime that can either work in our favor. Or not.
Stay Positive & Make Sure Output Today Adds Value Tomorrow
