America, the land of big things, huge debt and large consumption; why change? The whole idea of capitalism and business are to get bigger, gain more and in return settle into a comfy nest of wealth. Nothing is wrong with success. But times they are a changin’ and the world is moving in a direction that demands “change.” Ideas are moving towards being “green” and using less.

Outsourcing major functions of the day-to-day and gaining more with spending less. To which we say “awesome,” we welcome the change and the direction to which the nations economy is being forced to reconsider some of the decisions made.

The concept of David & Goliath, something small does not mean inefficient or blind to fact that big business could womp on David if so choosing; but big bad business that once clung to the idea that business must have bigger stuff to make bigger and better deals are not so anymore. David, has the advantage. Smaller resources are giving companies the ability to focus on customer service, make changes within the structure to rebuild foundations that had cracks and were unstable. David is stronger than ever and setting the standard to which Goliath must comply.

Big is the New Small:

VoIP (voice over IP) something mentioned and blogged about but not really understood or accepted as a mainstream form of communication. There is a perception it would be unreliable. Sure it is less expensive and more individualized but is going to be the same equability and performance than having multi-line phone system? Yes. It also gives more use of wireless functions. Being connected to the offices while in a business meeting in Japan, through your iPhone, for instance.

VoIP gives access to mobility which a phone line cannot. Mobility gives way to choice and options, something every business owner desires to have and also pass on to his clients.

Sally M. Cohen with Forrester Research says, “cable will continue to drive VoIP technology to the average US household, growing to almost 23 million lines by 2013 and pushing the overall VoIP market across the 28 million-line mark over the next five years.”

The main idea is the US is moving into a “change”; kind of like a diet. Unknown at first, but then as you get into it and can walk up the 14 stairs to your office without 3-4 stops the momentum gains; and no longer is it weird, it is exciting. Change is needed to move forward.

Someone very wise told me:

“If you want something you have never had, you must do something you have never done.”

This applies to all things. Want your business to grow, need more clients, choose to change what you are doing. Allow others to help, and embrace some of the really cool and mind blowing things that can be done to help your numbers peak and business to not only be more efficient but be profitable.
