You’ve been in the business for a long time now. You’ve come accustom to things just as they are. The things that motivated you then lost their luster. Your business is just ‘another day at the office’, ‘business as usual’. How do you bring back the excitement that you begin with?
Remember the day you opened the company door. No matter what the weather may have been, you felt great. You awaited your associates at the door, hoping they were on time and that your choices were the best. You were the king-of-the-hill, the captain of your domain. Whether you’re a retailer or a manufacturer, the excitement that was there, somehow it got clouded, it can come back.
You do the same routine day after day. Back then you had nothing to take for granted, let’s face it, everything was new. After time we fall into molds, molds we’ve created unconsciously. It’s time to break the mold and make it new again. Let’s look into a few things that can help bring back that luster.
First, change the order of things the best you can. Granted some things must come at the beginning of the day, but there is a lot that can be juggled around.
Second, you start your meetings at 10:00am every day; make it a half hour earlier or later instead. It will get your meetings to become a bit more interesting if you change the starting topic as well. If needed bring up the most crucial first, then change it up.
Third, check e-mails at a different time slot. Maybe half in the morning and the other before you call it a day.
Forth, take lunch at a different time; bring someone other than the same old people. And it doesn’t have to be about work all the time. Change the conversation like sports, the weather, etc.
Fifth, take a pleasure tour of your shop; greet your employees with enthusiasm. That will wake them up. This is supposed to be a cordial moment.
These are just a few small steps to take away the hum-drum out of everyday at the office. Remembering why you started in the first place is the right and first place to start.
