Pilot Your Idea: The Key to Testing and Perfecting Your Concept

Before you make any change, pilot the idea first, whether it's at work or at home. When you pilot an idea, you're allowing it to be tested so that you can see if it works or doesn't. When you're making a change that impacts other people. If we think of it as permanent from the get go, people normally resist change, and so it never fully takes hold. Whereas if we pilot the idea, people are more open to it being changed. So, for example, if we're changing something at work, let's like, we're going to outsource our virtual assistants at the front desk. We don't say we're changing that. We say we're piloting that idea, and we're going to see how it works in two months. That way people don't freak out, and that way they sit back and give it the space it needs to succeed or not.
