How to Win in Business? Be Open to Change

Early in my career, when I was really entrenched working at Wine Library, my dad pulled me aside and said something that I thought was curious. He said, “You’re always changing your mind.” He spoke about it as a negative personality trait. It was almost as if he was saying I was lying. “But you said…” kind of thing.

It was a very interesting moment in my career, because my immediate response was to say something like, “Yes, but that was nineteen months ago. That wine market was better.” Or “That was last week, Ricky was still working here.” Whatever my response was, it was the first time I really thought about why I changed my mind and what prompted it.

That is something that will always stick with me. The importance of being open to change is always top of mind for me in how I run and manage my businesses.
