Quotebook: The Key to Long-Term (Ministry) Success
You know this…but I thought this was a good quote for your notebook. This is a very Peter Drucker/Joseph Schumpeter concept, the gist of which is that you can’t continue to succeed without being willing to abandon yesterday’s winning products or programs (in the pursuit of tomorrow’s winning products or programs).
“The key to long-term success is a willingness to disrupt your own comfort for the sake of continued growth.” Todd Henry, Die Empty
For more on this idea, see Purposeful Abandonment: a Prerequisite to Innovation and The Innovator’s Guide to Growth.
By the way, Die Empty: Unleash Your Best Work Everyday is a great read. If you’re in a creative enterprise, this is a must read!
