One of the things we talk about in leadership training at U of M is change – being in control of it and turning negatives into positives (which can often be easier said than done).  For an interesting exercise, try plotting a timeline of your life (or your business’ life) vs. your level of happiness.  For many people, particularly unhappy periods are following by very happy ones.  Sometimes life deals us a losing hand, but that may lead us to make changes we wouldn’t have otherwise made – leading to being in a better place for the long run.

It’s not necesary to wait for fate to force you into a situation where you have to change.  If you’re aware of negative aspects of your life or business, then you can take steps to turn towards the positive – by changing course.  Take a few minutes to think about whether there’s anything you wish you could change – then take a few more and brainstorm ways to change them.  You might be surprised that things you were just living with actually have fairly easy solutions.

What can you change?
