It finally happened. The day has come. I\u2019m old.<\/p>\n

I remember when I was a kid and my grandmother would tell me about going down to the corner store and buying a candy bar for $0.05. I used to think, “Who cares?” and “You are old!”<\/p>\n

Now I don’t think that. Now I get it. Why?<\/p>\n

Because now I am telling the same stories. I remember when there was no Internet. I remember when my parents never got an automated call, email, text message and Facebook post when I was 30 minutes late for school. I remember when you didn’t have a computer guided GPS in your pocket at all times. I remember when if I wanted something from the store, I would have to go to the store (not order it off of Amazon).<\/p>\n

The crazy part is I’ve only been out of High School for 12 years.<\/p>\n

Things have always changed. Now though\u2026now, they are changing at a rate never seen before.<\/p>\n

What does this have to do with you, me and our business?<\/p>\n

Just like life, if you don\u2019t change the world will leave you behind. I remember when EVERYONE (over 16) made fun of Facebook. Come on, you know you did! I remember when EVERYONE (over 25) said texting was stupid. Now me and my grandfather text all the time.<\/p>\n

If you don’t change, and adapt with those things, your business will die. You will become irrelevant and if you get fired, good luck finding a job.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s video is about just that. Change.<\/p>\n

Sit back and enjoy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

(Note<\/strong>: Pardon the straight up book pitch in the video. I made this video for a client. You don’t have to buy the book, but I do recommend it, it\u2019s good.)<\/p>\n
