Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our series, ‘Ask the Business Coach’.

In business, standing still is never truly standing still; it’s falling behind.

The most successful leaders and entrepreneurs share one thing in common: they keep moving forward. Not blindly, not recklessly, but with intention, resilience, and a refusal to become stuck in comfort or complacency. An ever forward mindset is about progress, not projection.

Three key takeaways

  • Learn from the past, but don’t live in it.
  • Outrun external change.
  • Relevance, Resilience and Agility

Episode timestamps

  • [0.40] The past serves as evidence from which we can learn. However, sadly, many people not only reflect on the past; they also continue to live in it. The costliest words in business are: ‘That is the way we’ve always done it!’
  • [1.35] If the rate of external change exceeds the rate of internal change, your business will face a problem.
  • [2.30] The ever-forward mentality is critical to your business. Learning from the past, but looking forward to stopping you from being left behind. Ask: how relevant, how agile and how resilient are we?
