In yesterday’s email, I shared about our international flights to Italy.
Not only did we get business class tickets for a discounted price, the travel experience was outstanding and we arrived with all of our suitcases.
One of my Powerful Professional team members did not. And she was the one responsible for my hair and make up for the trip. And a lot of her personal things were in there too.
Uh oh.
What did we do when we found out? Strategized on how to get the supplies we needed.
The stores were closed when we arrived, but the hotel set up a taxi to take a couple of my team members to the store the next morning as soon as they opened. They went and got everything that we could and then we shared supplies each of us had to make it work.
We didn’t say “We can’t”. We didn’t freak out. (Okay, I did for about 60 seconds but then we got it together.)
We figured out the “how can we make it work”. And we did.
This is exactly how we need to face any challenges or unexpected shifts in our businesses. Not the “I can’t” but the “how can I?”
When we needed to change our in person retreats to virtual, the way we brought people into coaching, we shifted to virtual events instead. I got a coach, followed a blueprint and made the shift. And it was for the good as we are growing faster (revenue and impact) now than ever before in our over 20 years of being in business.
How can you respond to your next challenge with ”How can I?” instead of “How I can’t”.
That shift in question changes everything.
Curling iron optional.
