As I have got older, I find myself becoming more curious, in stark contrast to my childhood. I am becoming more open to possibilities outside my usual field of vision or experience. I am interested in finding new ways of doing things, or building my knowledge banks on a wealth of different subjects, or trying new things that can enrich my personal life and business experiences. It is all too easy for us to get into a rut, particularly when we are busy building our businesses. We have a tendency to focus simply on the day to day challenges and tasks that need to be done. We get used to doing things the same way out of habit or unwillingness to change. We often want to achieve a different outcome, but intrinsically know that unless we step out of our comfort zones it is not going to happen. Personally, I find that the more curious I become, the more new ideas flow, the more ‘aha’ moments I experience, and the more interesting my entrepreneurial journey becomes. It reminds me of the well-known quote, “The future belongs to the curious.” I couldn’t agree more!
Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! — Melanie
