Say it with me. New isn't always better. 📣

As business owners we spend a lot of time working in and on our business (shout out @alice_benham for getting me to talk about 'on it' vs 'in it' on a regular basis).

We work on projects intensively, we hear ourselves talk about the same things on rotation and we repeat key actions constantly.

It's easy to feel overloaded by the same points again and again and to want to mix it up. But that doesn't mean you should change something that's working well.

Yes, striving to improve what you're offering is a good thing, but change for change's sake is often counter productive.

So how do you make sure that you're changing things for the right reasons?
Simple. Remind yourself of three things:

1. You are not your target audience. Just because you're bored doesn't mean your audience is.
2. Data can put things into perspective. Do the trends follow your instincts?
3. Ask yourself why something might need changed. Be honest about the motivation.

If after thinking about these things you feel that you do need some innovation in your business then BY ALL MEANS! Just make sure that your personal boredom with a project you've been working on isn't the only thing ruling your decision.

Stop trying to learn from your mistakes 🚫

Learn from your successes instead. 💪

The 80/20 principle, or the Pareto Principle, explains a cause/effect ratio that comes up again and again in a whole lot of aspects of our lives and societies.

I could talk about it for days, but I also believe in getting to the point, so short and sweet it is. 🍬

Here are three ways you can use this principle to make your business (and life) better.

Taking your best 20% and learning from it can make a huge difference.

It's oh-so-much nicer on your self esteem as well.

It's a 4-day week and wow do I miss when those were more regular in my life... ⏰

But if you're a creative person - does it even matter?!

When I'm writing or working on more creative concepts, a lot of my time is spent thinking and building ideas. And I've yet to learn how to make that part of my brain adhere to working hours only.

I'm just as likely to have a great idea on a Sunday morning as on a Wednesday afternoon.

I've learnt that for me personally, there's no point in forcing myself to sit in a particular place, or write a certain number of words an hour or in overimposing order in any way at all. I'll get the same amount of work done, and I'll be a lot less happy.

For client work, deadlines and meetings yes I stick to a 'regular' schedule, but for other things I allow myself to be flexible.

Also, since I moved back to Scotland it's been very important to be able to time my running for the sunny 42 minutes in the day. 😆

So Tuesday is the new Monday, but it's also the new Sunday, Friday or whatever day you want it to be. 💪
