You’re not going back in time. You’re not getting younger. Your business, your church, your non-profit…they’re not getting any younger either. It’s time to realize that changes need to happen across the board of your life if you’re going to grow your business.
Take a leap.

I wish there was a catch-all term for design and what it can do for a company. But there simply isn’t. Revolutionize? Thrust? Propel? Accelerate?
How about…Innovation?
The world of professionalism is under attack as we know it. It’s ruthless. It’s mean. It’s real. And even with the efforts of many people, I still see a task that seems far too large.
But I know it’s not.
I recently read the book, Raving Fans by Ken Blanchard (author of Who Moved My Cheese), and it really struck me between the eyes just how crappy customer service actually is. I mean, I’ve always known that when my food is cold or someone is rude in the mall that’s it’s annoying…but I never actually thought about how crappy it is pretty much all around. AND for that matter, how complacent we are to accept it. Our expectations are so low that it doesn’t take much to stand out. Thus the point of this quick post.
I’ve often struggled with explaining the difference of design vs. development to clients, friends, family, and generally anyone who isn’t a designer or developer. And that’s understandable as they are not involved in what I am every single day so I don’t expect them to understand.
It’s the same as me not comprehending all the different aspects of construction…and that it’s rare that one single person can do roofing, framing, foundation repair, etc. They’re all connected…but OH SO different. So that said, it got me thinking about the different levels and separation just within the field of “design”.
