A Day-1-Always Attitude!

The best way to thrive in today’s world, wherever we may be, is by becoming tropophilic, thus making sure we keep a day-1-always attitude, personally and at work. This is Jeff Bezos mantra and one of the main reasons behind his spectacular success.

The other reasons are stated below, as well as in the traits of a beautiful mind.

When asked: What does Day 2 look like? Bezos replied: “Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why at Amazon it’s always Day 1.”

This brings us to the obvious question: how to maintain a day-1-always attitude?

The challenge of maintaining the vitality and freshness of Day 1, especially within large organizations is, unequivocally, the greatest challenge a company will ever face.

Keep in mind that there are three crucial elements at play here: 1) The organization (and its products/services); 2) The customers, and 3) The environment within which everything takes place.

There is relatively not much you can do about the environment (e.g., build news stores, increase online presence, etc.) and your customers (e.g., advertisements, promotions, etc.).

However, there is plenty you can do about your organization and fend off day 2 mentality!

The best thing you can do about your organization, to begin with, is to make it Tropophilic.
