Change is the only true constant. No matter how hard you try, things change. If you are not evolving, you are letting the world pass you by. More importantly, if your goals and plans for success and the very definition of your success are not changing, you put yourself in danger of failing.

Innovation, growth, reinvention: these are the tools necessary for overcoming change in pursuit of personal success. You need only look at other people who continue to pursue their dreams using the same methods as everyone else and watch them become disappointed by the outcome.

Disruption and transformation are not new ideas, and are important in the change that ultimately happens along the path to success. A time comes in the pursuit of success when the need to change your paradigm becomes clear. Learn to transform yourself in the process. Consider the following ideas when change presents itself:

1 Will this help me grow?

2 Have I changed the metrics to reflect the evolution of my success?

3 Am I willing to change how I describe my success?

4 Do I understand the landscape of the changes in my path?

5 Do I have long‐term and short‐term strategies?
