Which path will you take?

If you are anything like me, since the start of this new year you may have been thinking a lot about the choices we make in life, the paths we choose to take. And whether those paths are easy or hard, positive or negative, in our lives and our businesses. I know that as human beings, we are perhaps hard-wired to always think about taking the easy path, the one of least resistance. This is not surprising as life and business can be hard, and we need all the luck we can get! But another way of looking at things is to acknowledge that every challenge we encounter, every problem we have to solve, is in fact an opportunity to learn, to improve, to overcome. As I get older, and hopefully wiser, and as I continue to gain new and fresh experiences on this entrepreneurial journey, I think it is important to not always take the easy road. Instead, to look at the hard road ahead, with its uncertainty and its bumps along the way. See it as a powerful learning opportunity, a chance to experience new things, to keep pushing yourself to improve. For me, that is what this year needs to be about - choosing the paths that will lead to both self improvement and growth in the business. So the question you need to ask yourself today is which path will you take?
