Many people see the world in a very black and white way. There is a right way to do something, and a wrong way, and for some, it's very difficult to deviate from those standards into a more gray area. This attitude is true even in the business world. Despite the fact that technology is constantly changing and staying ahead of the competition requires new and inventive strategies, some business owners have a hard time moving away from traditional business practices.
Of course, many traditional practices still work, and work well. Sometimes, however, taking your business to the next level requires moving into newer areas and adopting new practices.
How to Break Free
The first step in breaking free from your conventional processes is seeing which processes actually need breaking free from. Take an inventory of your systems and evaluate their productivity and efficiency. Are they still productive and efficient? Are they up to date and keeping you, at the very least, in line with the competition? If they are, you might not need to break free. If they’re not, however, and if there is another, easier way to do something, you need to consider a change.
This will be hard for you. You see your systems in use every day, and – admit it – are a little biased in regards to them. That's why you should hire a consultant. Consultants have fresh eyes with which to evaluate your business, and no biases or nostalgia in terms of your systems. Our involvement in our own projects often blinds us to the issues that hold us back, and a fresh set of eyes will give you the insight you needed to make positive changes.
Once you and your consultant have identified problem areas, you must move on to finding and implementing solutions. New and unfamiliar software is often the next step, but the time and money involved in a new system implementation can seem overwhelming. Once again, a consultant can come to your rescue. Bringing in an expert on your new solution will ensure a smoother and timelier transition.
What’s Best For You
When choosing a solution, remember that what worked best for your brother’s business or a competitor's business isn't necessarily the solution for you. Thinking outside the box on this issue can make a huge impact and push you to the next level – sometimes the “crazy” or “out of left field” ideas will be your breakthrough ideas. Stepping out of your comfort zone often leads to success.

All business practices – including opening a business at all – involve the possibility of failure. This is why so many business owners have a hard time walking away from their black and white thinking and their old school, traditional business practices. Yes, choosing a new system carries risks, but having a good consultant, a concrete goal, and a positive attitude can make the scary, unconventional way the most lucrative way.
