HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

In the real world, I think that in that it Change is a bit like a tree. Each day it is a slightly different version of itself. Buds appear that weren’t there the day before, perhaps leaves fall, fruit ripens, flowers produce seed etc.

In other words, hundreds of tiny changes are taking place all the time, constantly modifying the tree. It is the same with a business; different aspects of it are always changing. Successful businesses, like good gardeners, keep an eye on what bits need tending & encouraging and which bits need pruning or pinching out.

Turning up to the same place and greeting the same faces every day can easily blind us to this constant flux. Today, perhaps you could walk round your ‘garden’ and see what is growing and what needs your attention….
