Successful business tends to continue implementing the ideas that made them successful. But in a rapidly changing world, ideas often become outdated overnight. What worked in the past won’t necessarily work in the future. In order to thrive in the future, you must constantly create new ideas for every aspect of your business. In fact, you must continually generate new ideas just to keep your head above water. Businesses that are not creative about their future may not survive.
Although Bill Gates is the most successful man on the planet, he did not anticipate the Internet. Now he is scrambling to catch up. If Bill Gates can miss a major aspect of his industry, it can happen to you in your industry. Your business needs to continually innovate and create its future. Gates now is constantly worried about the future of Microsoft. Here’s what he said in a recent interview in the US News World Report: "Will we be replaced tomorrow? No. In a very short time frame, Microsoft is an incredibly strong company. But when you look to the two-to-three-year time frame, I don’t think anyone can say with a straight face that any technology company has a guaranteed position. Not Intel, not Microsoft, not Compaq, not Dell, take any of your favorites. And that’s totally honest."
Yet many remember that in 1985 the Cabbage Patch Kids were the best-selling toys on the market. But after Coleco Industries introduced their sensational line of dolls they became complacent and didn’t create any new toys worth mentioning. As a result, Coleco went bankrupt in 1988.
The most successful businesses survive in the long term because they constantly reassess their situations and reinvest themselves accordingly. The 3M Company has a 15% role: Employees are encouraged to spend 15% of their time developing new ideas on any project they desire. It’s no surprise, then, that 3M has been around since 1902.
Most businesses are not willing to tear apart last year’s model of success and build a new one. Here’s a familiar analogy to explain why they are lulled into complacency. Imagine that your business is like a pot of lobster. To cook lobster, you put them into a pot of warm water and gradually turn up the heat. The lobsters don’t realize they are being cooked because the process is so gradual. As a result, they become complacent and die without a struggle. However, if you throw a lobster into the pot when the water is boiling, it will desperately try to escape. This lobster is not lulled by a slowly changing environment. It realizes instantly that it’s in a bad environment and takes immediate action to change its status.
The case of ______ suggests that complacency and lack of creation will rain a company.
