Sometimes we encounter resistance in the industry to have "business improvement" level conversation that may require an investment of some kind. This resistance is due to many factors but is something that is likely holding you back from seeing ways to improve your business in many cases.

Too many people feel like if they keep doing things the same way every year all will be good, and anyone trying to teach new methods must be selling snake oil, so there is often immediate rejection of improvement conversations that could give you massive benefits. In today's episode Bruce explores why this might be, and gives 4 specific points for you to think about.
