The great fix that&#8217;s missing is right  there, right in front of our noses, in the form of that elusive little  &#8220;more.&#8221; &#8220;If we just could accomplish a little more,&#8221; the thinking goes,  &#8220;our problems would be solved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And so the lie goes undetected and the suffering continues.<\/p>\n<p>It continues because the thinking itself is the culprit. In the quest  to satisfy the insatiable false promise of &#8220;more,&#8221; we begin to tune out  every other voice in our lives. We tune out employees, customers, family  members and eventually our very selves. The need to achieve more by  doing more becomes our primary taskmaster. And a harsh taskmaster it is.<\/p>\n<p>This approach to business (and life in general) doesn&#8217;t work well  because it assumes we live in a linear world. It&#8217;s the same logic that  says, &#8220;If a little is good, then a lot is better!&#8221; And so we become  fixated on arbitrary &#8220;goals&#8221; to the point where we are unresponsive to  what is actually taking place around us. This thinking produces  inflexibility and a sort of business rigor mortis sets in. It projects  past successes into the future and assumes the best path to take is the  one directly in front of us. So we continue doing the same things hoping  to achieve the same, or better, results. Instead we often face  frustration and diminishing returns.<\/p>\n<p>A more balanced approached would be to take a present minded,  360-degree view of life. In place of pressing forward, it might make  sense to take a right turn or to stop all together. The captains of the  railroad industry made the mistake of thinking that they were in the  train business. This caused them to put their efforts in building more  and more tracks and building more and more engines. What they were  really providing their customers was mobility, so they missed out on  opportunities to evolve into the automotive and aerospace industries.  The tyranny of pressing forward, gaining share and increasing sales left  them blind to emerging opportunities happening all around them.<\/p>\n<p>Apple could have stubbornly stuck with being a computer company.  Instead they have adapted to become a music, entertainment and digital  lifestyle provider. Imagine if their focus had merely been to achieve  &#8220;x&#8221; percent increase a year in computer sales. It would have been a  disaster. The ability to listen, integrate and adapt to emerging trends  keeps us and our businesses relevant, grounded and connected to our  customers. It really amounts to a shift in attitude from one of gaining  to one of serving. And the paradox is that the more we serve the needs  of those around us, the more we become indispensable to those we serve.<\/p>\n<p>So perhaps the best thing you could do right now for yourself and for  your business is to simply stop. Stop doing, acquiring, gaining,  amassing and protecting and for a moment just listen. You may find a  quieter, more intuitive voice that is gently nudging you in some new,  unfamiliar direction. And it&#8217;s the brave souls that can quiet the busy  mind and tune into this type of navigation that discover new ideas,  energy and direction. And in the end you may find something more  powerful than the sense of achievement. You might discover the deep  satisfaction of serving and responding to life itself.<\/p>\n<p>As president of Tungsten Branding, Phillip Davis heads a team of <a href=\"http:\/\/puretungsten.com\/\">branding consultants<\/a>,  specializing in company name development and strategic branding.
