The Long Term Costs of Comfortable Inaction


Motivational Power Quote

The Long Term Costs of Comfortable Inaction
“There are risks and costs to a plan of action. But they are
 far less than the ling-range risks and costs of
comfortable inaction.”
John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States


As I see it . . . . . . .

The long terms costs of comfortable inaction

There are risks in any actions that you take . . . . Some will be bigger than others. But in reality there is always an element of risk in your choices and in your actions.

There are far greater risks in comfortable inaction . . . .

Over the last decade there have been a large number of business failures that can be linked back to . . . . not adjusting to the changing business environment.

Many of those businesses took the low road of comfortable inaction . . . .

They were operating their businesses in their comfort zone. As the business environment shifted . . . . they made conscious the decision to stay in their comfort zone. They didn’t want to risk changing their business model . . . . to meet the demands of a shifting and changing market place. In many cases they fell behind the business curve and were left behind.

As a result many once thriving businesses lose their market position. Some went out of business and many of them lost their market share and are struggling to keep their business afloat.

The cause of many of the business failures . . . . were the businesses models were operating in their comfort zone. They would not take the calculated risks to step out of their comfort zone . . . . and make adjusted to meet the needs and demands of the market place. 

The long term cost of comfortable inaction . . . . can be enormous as the business model’s  either ceases to operate or are just left behind.
