Commonsense tells us that there is no fire without wind, and everything happens due to causes and conditions. Yet many still believe in lottery and think that they can break laws as long as they are not caught. What we teach in our training are all commonsense, yet they are not common practice. The following are 5 Most Ignored Commonsense:
1. Multiple causes vs Single Cause
It is A, B, C, D, E that leads to F, G, H, I J, and not A leads to B. You cannot just advertise and expect business, your people must also know how to close sales or there will be no business. Of course your product must be right to begin with.
2. Better than Late Than Never is Stupid!
But the moment you say 'Later', you are closer to never. It's better to 'Just Do It' as what Nike said than to wait for conditions to be perfect.
3. Time Simply Has No Value
It's not time that has value, but what you do to time that has value.
How often we hear 'time is more than money' but later realize that having more time may be bad as we are too early for the market to accept us.
4. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
People like to change for change sake, and no wonder that makes people 'change sick'. Like we see many buildings being torn down to make way for new buildings that lack soul. Also, many renovations are just a waste of the earth's resources.
5. It's Better to Dislike than Like
Like doesn't mean Good, and in fact dislike may mean more future business.
For when you dislike something, there is motivation for you to improve it. All great businesses are from massive dislikes initially, like Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.
