It’s all made up

At the heart of what I talk about and teach is this:

Everything is made up.

All rules were simply created by someone and someone else agreed. Over time some of these rules became Laws. We’ve agreed to follow those laws and we have people that interpret and enforce those laws.

When people create businesses, they look at what people (especially in their industry) have done before them. “Looks like everyone gets paid Net 30. We’ll get paid Net 30.”

My point is this: Since it’s all made up, you don’t Have to do what others have done. Well, you might want to follow the laws of the land. People are pretty attached to them.

But in your business, so what if people invoice out Net 30? Go ahead and  create your own payment plans and structures. “19% down and 6 monthly payments?” Whatever!

We’re all improvising all the time. Your daily conversations are mostly unplanned. let’s broaden that out and start playing with new rules for business and new ways to engage with people.

Make stuff up! If you’re not, then you’re just playing in the world that others have created for you to play in. Break out and create soemthing!
