How to deal with change in your life
LESSON 1: Change Happens
They keep moving the cheese. Dave accepted that change is inevitable. Amazon is constantly updating their business systems to meet the demands of their customers.
LESSON 2: Anticipate Change
Get ready for the cheese to move. Dave expected things to change so he was not surprised when Amazon changed their payment system.
LESSON 3: Monitor Change
Smell the cheese often so you know when it’s getting old. Dave was able to anticipate change because he kept up with the latest news about Amazon. He talked with other authors and paid attention to the frequent emails Amazon sent him.
LESSON 4: Adapt To Change Quickly
The quicker you let go of old cheese the sooner you can enjoy new cheese. Dave knew that hanging around and complaining would not change amazon’s payment system so instead he quickly adapted to the change.
LESSON 5: Change
Move with the cheese. To adapt to the change Dave thought of ways to boost the sales with the new payment system. Through brainstorming and creative thinking he was able to come up with several techniques that would encourage the reader to read more pages in his books. One technique was to combine books that weren’t selling into one that was that way the reader was likely to read everything, as a result his sales began increasing again.
LESSON 6: Enjoy Change
Enjoy the taste of new cheese. Dave was happy that his work paid off. His success didn’t end there. He created an on-line course to teach people how they could adapt to Amazon’s new payment system and it sold like hotcakes.
