Chapter 58 Never stop always pursue progress

A fresh glass of water, if left unused, will soon become stale.Similarly, if the owner of a well-run store does not make better and newer improvements, his business will gradually decline. The characteristic of a positive achiever is that he can never stop pursuing improvement anytime, anywhere. A successful person is deeply afraid of going back and falling, so he always strives to improve himself.When one thing reaches a certain stage, it must not stop, but should continue to work hard to reach a higher height.When a person thinks he is satisfied in his career and no longer pursues progress, it is the beginning of his career turning from prosperity to decline.Every morning we should make up our minds: to try to do better in our duties, to improve from yesterday, and to leave the office, factory or other place of work in the evening, everything should be better arranged than yesterday.Those who insist on doing this will surely have amazing achievements in their careers in a short period of time.

Never stop moving, has great contagious power.An employer who is constantly improving will infect his employees, making employees develop a habit of action to improve their daily work.If an employer can in this way motivate his employees to make conscious efforts, then such an employer has gained a strong ally in his career. A person who wants to achieve a great cause must be in constant contact with the outside world and with his competitors. He should visit model stores, shopping malls, exhibitions and all well-managed organizations to learn new and effective management methods.There is a successful retailer in Chicago, USA. He used a week's vacation to visit the big shopping malls in the country, so he got a way to improve his own shopping malls.After that, he traveled to the East every year to study the sales methods and management methods of several large-scale shopping malls.In his view, such a visit is absolutely necessary.Otherwise, if you stick to the rules and do it invariably, you will definitely fail.He said that his mall has undergone several improvements and is very different from before.The shortcomings that he had never noticed before, such as the display of the goods can not attract customers, the hired workers are not serious about their work, etc., after visiting the outstanding colleagues, they are vivid in his mind, which aroused his great attention.So, he began to make drastic adjustments, such as changing the display of cabinets, dismissing employees who were not loyal to their duties, etc. After doing so, the atmosphere in the store was completely new.

A person who never goes out of the door of his shop and does not communicate with others is often blind to the business of his shop and the shortcomings of the shop assistants, and is often not easy to detect various problems.Therefore, the only way to make your store develop is to let new light enter the store, and you need to check the practices of your peers frequently, and communication with your peers can often be used as a reference for improvement. The reason why the human body can keep healthy and lively is because the blood of the human body is constantly being renewed.Similarly, people engaged in business should always absorb fresh ideas and obtain improved methods.Only in this way can his career develop day by day until he succeeds.

Those who always stay in one environment are bound to go astray in failure.They are often content with reality and are unaware of its flaws.For these kinds of defects, if they do not change their environment, they will never be able to discover them. The moment a hotel manager steps into another hotel, he notices many areas for improvement.He must have seen more improvements in a short period of time than the owner of the hotel, who never went out all year round, saw in a year. The problem with most people is that they think that in order to improve their careers they must improve the whole.They don't know that the only secret to improvement is to seek improvement anytime and anywhere, and to seek improvement in small things. The so-called think big and start small.In fact, only by seeking improvement anytime and anywhere can we receive the best results.If you hang this sentence in your office, it will definitely be effective: "Where should I improve my affairs today?"
