I always find it interesting that so few of us deal well with change, when it’s one of the most common constants in the world. Change happens. It’s all around us! Yet for some reason, when change affects our lives or workplace, we have a little meltdown and don’t really know what to do.
Today I want to let you in on a little secret: If you learn to embrace change (and even be the agent of change), you can reap the rewards. Here are five ways that you can use change to make a profit.
Jump on new opportunities. If you aren’t willing to jump on the bandwagon when change happens, you won’t be there to benefit. I’m not saying you should support every new idea that comes out. Of course, do your research, but don’t be afraid to support something new and different.I always find it interesting that so few of us deal well with change, when it’s one of the most common constants in the world.

Be willing to take a risk. You know the saying, “The greater the risk, the greater the reward.” This is oftentimes very true, especially when it comes to embracing change. Be willing to take a risk and you’ll likely see some great dividends.
Lead – don’t follow. Leaders are always the ones that make change. Leaders are also the ones who get promoted and earn more money. Don’t be content simply following the leader. BE the leader.
Stay current. How can you embrace change if you don’t know what’s happening around you in the world? Stay as up to date on news, politics, technology, etc. as you can in order to be certain that you are one of the first people to learn about upcoming change.
Support visionaries. People that are innovative aren’t always natural leaders or even good marketers. If you can help to support people that have great vision and are constantly seeking to change the world, you will see the rewards that their innovations bring.
Because women are looking for a deeper understanding of how they can become influential, I developed a 3-part mini-series where I will share the true meaning of influence, where it starts, what women do naturally, and how they can own their influence. This 3-part mini-series, “Designed For Influence”, is where women will find the 3 most powerful tools to bring forth their influence – in any situation. I am inviting you to get your seat before the room fills up - space is limited. It all begins January 2012 so start your New Year off on a serious note – make yourself a priority!
