We could all use a little more Kaizen in our lives
In case you are not familiar with the term, Kaizen stems from the Sino-Japanese word for Improvement or change for the better. This is a concept referring to activities that lead to constant and continuous improvement. This has been applied in many area’s from manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, psychotherapy , personal development coaching, government and banking.
This ironic thing is that American business consultants brought this concept to Japan after the second world war. The magic of this was instead of focusing on large scale changes to processes, it instead talked about implementing small improvements that could be done right away. Toyota adopted this as part of their manufacturing process and yielded large results in terms of their productivity and their quality of products. So much so that by the 90’s rolled around they had over taken GM, Ford and Chrysler in terms of volume and quality.
So what small change can you make today that will help you move your life and productivity in a new and better direction? Can you go for a walk instead of watching another tv show? Can you make a nutritious meal at home instead of having fast food? Can you make some cold calls to improve your sales? Can you put some money away to save for your down payment on your next home or your next big adventure when the world goes back to normal.
Just do something and build upon it and anything will become possible.
I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
Cheers,
Patrick
