By Stewart Nicholas, Owner and Lead Process Developer at Nik Systems
Welcome to Nik Systems Blog Post 9, covering product development and growth of Nik Systems through November 4, 2020.
Since launching Nik Systems I’ve had the privilege of speaking with a host of amazing business leaders that share space in the small business world. Brilliant minds from a wide range of backgrounds including management consulting, media production, professional training, workforce development, web design and others. One thing they’ve all had in common is a grounding sense of humility and a great willingness to share their experience with me as I work to find my way on this journey.
An Emerging Eco-System
As these conversations have progressed, I’ve witnessed a trend evolve. An eco-system is beginning to emerge.
While many new business owners would resist this, I find the realization quite comforting.
A lot of new entrepreneurs suffer deep internal struggles with their ego and feel an intense drive to protect their ideas. In contrast, I have found exercising my ability to check my ego gives me the flexibility I need to move past my thoughts and allow the influence of others to affect my plans; opening me up to greater levels of success and empowering me to contribute to the benefit of others.
Manifested Change
In real time the thoughts manifested through this eco-system have begun to shape the way I communicate, led me to those who share similar interest online, and gave birth to a new business strategy at Nik Systems.
Even at this early stage, exposure to this kind of eco-system has proved invaluable, and I’m excited to see where things go as it matures.
