Performance is one of the main drivers to stay in business, whether you are looking to succeed with simple small business ideas, whether it is to establish ideas working from home, work at home business ideas for moms or even small business ideas for students. Whatever business you are looking to accomplish, how do you stay on top of your game? What is the key to performance?

An old man was walking home late one night when he came across a friend on his knees under a street light searching for something. The old man asked “What are you doing?” The friend replied “I dropped my house keys.” The old man joined in the search. After a few frustrated minutes of searching, the old man asked ”Where exactly did you drop the keys.” His friend pointed into the darkness and said “Over there.” “Then why are we looking here” replied the now confused old man. The friend replied “This is where the light is.”

This story is so comparable to someone’s business or life when it comes to finding the key to performance.

Performance is basically about delivering the goods and comes down to individuals taking action. No matter what new strategies, new technologies and new systems are employed, people’s actions may need to change.

Despite the billions of companies across the world, the time and effort spent on strategies, reporting, building relationships, acquiring and being acquired at worst does not improve performance at all, but at best makes some inroads. We are in a business to make a profit, so why then is performing well out of reach for so many businesses. With all what we know in the 21st century, performance gains just aren’t forthcoming. Why is this?

Performing has a lot to do with timing, and getting things done at the right time. Missed opportunities are someone else’s gain. You may have to dig deep, go places you have never ventured to get great results and this may go beyond what you have always done. 

Many, when searching for the key to performance will look where the light is – the simplest and easiest route. If we have a problem then we try to solve it through our own knowledge. If the solution is not evident we seek to gain the answers through others.

If you are committed in breaking through the performance barrier, then you may need to look where the light is not shining.

Push away some of the old habits and identify new ones. It’s okay to be vulnerable, but where ever you venture, move the light around to brighten up a new path either within your business or your life.

It is a great journey, great commitment and great habit. What are you going to do to find the key to performance? It is what separates the leaders from the rest.
