Today I met a man who is in a business that I’ve been in for the last 15 years…(Mobile Home Parks)…he’s just been at it a LOT longer than I have.  While he runs his business ALOT differently than I do, what he does accomplishes several things:

1. It works for his local market conditions

2. It serves his needs because he BUILT it to serve his needs!

Rather than dismiss what he’s doing as “wrong”, I chose to learn how to look at different possibilities and why he’s doing what he’s doing. As a result, I got to see how a successful business adapts to survive and thrive!

Whenever you catch yourself thinking or saying, “well that’s not how I do things”, stop!

You may just be wasting a great opportunity to learn something.
