There is one story. A story about a King who has some serious health issue which does not get healed despite different cures from various experts. One day there comes one Swami who tells the King that the problem is related to your eyes and that you should see Only Green so that your eyes feel soothed. The Minister orders everybody around that all things in the Palace should be Green. The Palace is painted Green, all the clothes are changed to green, all the food that was given to him was colored green. There was lot of expense that goes into this. After a while, the King begins to feel better. The Swami returns after many days and is stunned to see all the palace turn green. After hearing everything he gives the King a pair of Green Goggles and says that you could have saved all the money if you had changed the way you see it rather than changing the whole World around you.
Something similar happens in our Business World. As I said earlier, we have Circle of Influence & Circle of Concern. We cannot do much about the Circle of Concern. But what if we just change our position in the Circle of Concern so that you shift yourself to the Circle of Influence. When we have external hostile environments, you just need to adjust yourself so that you are always the winner in long term.
If there is a situation due to which you have problems in business, just see if you can tweak your project so that your output or your customer or the process - something changes and you remain safe.
