"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." said Ralph Waldo Emerson. As it applies to all life, it also applies to all business! If what you have is working perfectly, perhaps you have no more need for experimentation. For the vast majority of us, there is still some tweaking to do to get that perfectly working business. How many experiments have you made this week? This month? This year?
Are your experiments bringing you closer to that perfect business? Do you have tried and tested ways of doing what works? Could they be even better? Remember that the nature of experiments is that some of them will not go as you expect - no matter if the result is 'positive' or 'negative' each one is a learning experience and will get you closer to where you want to be...but only if you keep experimenting, changing the factors, evaluating your results.
I once 'experimented' with asking for referrals - with a sample of 3. Funnily enough, the sample wasn't really big enough! When i changed the experiment to a sample of 100, I learned heaps - about my comfort zone in asking for help, about who I wanted referred, about the sort of person who would refer, about the best way to ask for help...and much more. I'm still experimenting with this - and each experiment brings me closer to what works perfectly.
What are you experimenting with today?

i am experimenting with what i write in my follow up letters to people who have inquired at new insights who i trained with.
in some i included a page about myself in some i didn't!
i will experiment with putting my pic on the page and not doing so.
i'll try writing different things in my letter! such as putting pricing on some and not putting it on others.
i will have 1 hundred leads altogether from new insights so hopefully i will learn something through writing to them all.
i shall create 2 different brochures and see which one creates most leads!
i shall be writing to eveyone i know to let them know about my new business sometime soon.
i could write 2 very different letters and randomly send 1 of them to half those people and the other to the other half!
Excellent experimentation Nadia - thanks for sharing it...and as you test, more ideas to experiment with will occur to you.
Enjoy them all!
