<p>I am constantly thinking about change&#8212;something that is quite scary to a lot of people. My goal of leading this company to become the greatest mid-sized agency ever naturally drives my thought process toward change&#8212;the kind of change that could potentially alter the culture and makeup of an agency. Some have been giant misses. Others have led to great successes.</p><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">Each time I think about change, I jot down every possible thought that enters my brain (you should see my scratch notes). I try to weigh the positives and negatives and the potential wins and fall-outs from my plan. For those on my leadership team who listen to the possibility of change, they are probably slightly stressed. Their minds go to a place where they wonder how this is going to affect the business today. I go to a place where I wonder how this can help the business tomorrow.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">At the end of the day, there is only one person who cannot quit <span class="brand-highlight">No Limit Agency*</span> or 1851&#8212;that&#8217;s me. Sure, that&#8217;s a lot of pressure, but it&#8217;s also a lot of drive to constantly find ways to win more for our clients and for our team. I am constantly thinking about what the world will look like 10 years from today.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">I am not sure if this is an entrepreneurial mindset or limited to a select few, but I am so committed to winning (not just financially, but mentally) that while riding this wave of momentum, I can&#8217;t help but see this beautiful potential light at the end of the tunnel.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">For those who live this day-to-day, it may not be as easy. I wish I could make it easier for them today. My intentions are that any change I put in place today will impact them more and more as the days go by. I don&#8217;t just want to win for me; I want to win for them. I want to help them find what = happiness in our business.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">One important lesson I had to learn in business adjustments was to not think about how to improve the model just for those who are in the business today&#8212;but for those who will be in the business tomorrow. Structure and process must be the driving factor to finding the next right business equation. If I can nail down both structure and process, with myself and my leadership team, we will have a shot at becoming the greatest mid-sized agency that ever existed.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">I look at changing today for 10 years from now. If I can nail down the formula, then, perhaps, everyone in our agency might not be able to quit, too&#8212;because they are way too happy.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">= happiness is the goal.</span></div>
