Why Change Is the Real Currency of Growth
They say the measure of intelligence is the ability to change. Einstein’s words. But you don’t need to be a physicist to see the truth in that statement. If your life isn’t working—your routines, your mindset, your business—and you’re still doing the same thing day after day, week after week, hoping for different results… that’s not loyalty to your path. That’s self-sabotage dressed as consistency.
We’ve glamorized the idea of “staying true to yourself” without asking the harder question: What if your current self is what’s holding you back?
Staying the same forever isn’t noble. It’s stagnant.
Change gets a bad reputation. It’s uncomfortable. It’s unfamiliar. It asks us to admit that what we were doing might not have been working. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: if you don’t evolve, you don’t grow. And if you don’t grow, you decay—slowly, invisibly, until one day you look around and realize you’ve been stuck for years.
This is true in your personal life. In your health. In your habits. In your relationships. But nowhere does it become more obvious—or more punishing—than in your work life.
Especially in entrepreneurship.
Especially in real estate.
This industry doesn’t care if you’re comfortable. It doesn’t wait for you to catch up. It doesn’t hand out trophies for doing things “the way they’ve always been done.” It rewards the ones who are willing to look in the mirror and say: This can be better. The ones who are curious enough to try new systems, open to new platforms, and humble enough to admit they don’t have it all figured out.
We see this every day. Agents who resist tech, social platforms, automation, AI. The ones who treat new tools like distractions instead of stepping stones. And then they wonder why their competitors are closing more deals, building stronger brands, and staying top of mind while they’re still wrestling with outdated methods.
The unexamined life is not worth living. And the unexamined business? Not worth running.
Reflection without action is just rumination. The key is measured, intentional change. Not throwing everything out the window. Not jumping ship at every challenge. But refining, adjusting, testing, learning—until the results speak for themselves.
Because life, like business, isn’t meant to be a flatline. The peaks and valleys are where the meaning is. Where the growth is. Where the story is.
So if something isn’t working, don’t just survive it. Don’t blame the market. Don’t blame the tools. Don’t blame your clients.
Change it.
That’s the work. That’s the way forward.
