Stop Assuming Every Business in Your Industry Has the Same Problems

When business owners face persistent challenges, they often look around for validation. It is common for the client to assume that all other businesses in their industry share the same problems.

They blame external forces: the economy, the competition, or the difficulty of finding good people. They convince themselves that low margins, constant stress, and the "run around" of Survival Mode are simply the cost of doing business in their specific field.

The Myth of Shared Problems

In fact, this is usually not the case.

Assuming that everyone else is struggling just as much as you are is a limiting belief system. It provides a comfortable excuse to avoid the hard work of change. If the industry is to blame, then the owner doesn't have to take responsibility for their lack of success or their failure to operate the company at optimum capacity.

The Thriving Exceptions

The reality is far different. There are always companies which thrive, no matter the industry, time in history, or current economic climate.

These thriving exceptions are not lucky. They have simply navigated the Leverage Zone Shift. They have stopped letting business happen to them and started making business happen for them. They have replaced the school of hard knocks with proven and field-tested processes.

The Goal of Optimization

The goal of the Business Development Machine (BDM) approach is to make your business one of those thriving exceptions.
