What exactly does this mean some may ask? Weighing the odds can look different ways depending upon both your professionally personally. For example:

Do I change professions?

Do I start a business?

Do I move and start over?

Do I need further education?

Whatever is weighing on your mind, there are 3 things to take into account:

How will my decision impact others (my business, the bottom line, my employees, etc.)

Is this the right time?

Is making a change right for all involved?

Can I make the move with the least amount of transitional pain and impact to those affected?

What seems like an eternity ago, I remember moving company locations twice. The first time it was smooth and organized. There was no pretending that it wouldn’t be an adjustment. The second time it was “sold” to us. Big presentations and fancy architectural drawings. And it was not an easy adjustment…but we weren’t allowed to feel that way. So, I ask you to consider the three factors before making a change and also remember that pretending in the end doesn’t work…..for anyone.
