Success, according to Tim Harford, the author ofaAdapt: Why Success Always Starts With Failurea(http://www.amazon.com/Adapt-Success-Always-Starts-Failure/dp/B0085RZFAU), the groundbreaking book, which argues that ?today?s challenges simply cannot be tackled with ready-made solutions and expert opinion; the world has become far too unpredictable and profoundly complex, and that instead, we must adapt,? there are three fundamental components to success.
And success is nothing new at ASAP ROOFING. In the last year this nationwide roofing company with offices in Denver, Colorado; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Dallas, Texas, has helped,aliterallyahundreds of homeowners through the restoration process. For ASAP roofing success is about longevity. The roofing industry is always changing, and success does not mean just having a good year. Success is about being around for generations.
So what is the secret to ASAP ROOFING?s success? Well, as it turns out, this innovative roofing company?s success is, in large part, due to following Harford?s three principles, and putting them into play on a daily basis.
According to Harford, who draws many evolutionary, corporate, and individual examples of these three principles leading to phenomenal success ? they are:
1.aBe Willing to Fail.aSuccess is highly dependent on being willing to try almost anything with no guarantees that it will actually work, and as Harford notes, and ASAP ROOFING can attest to, sometimes what you think may not work ? actually will.
2.aMake Your Failures Survivable.aWhen we put too many eggs in one basket, a single failure can be the difference between a surviving and crashing and burning. In order to be able to take risks ? and risk failing ? then, we have to make our risks relatively small, and as Harford mentions, not tied to everything else. In this way, one trial can fail, yet the entire organization does not fall apart as a result. ASAP ROOFING, who has offices in five different states has learned this as not every office is thriving at once, yet the company as a whole has had astronomical success.
3.aLearn From Your Failures.aFailures are only as good as the learning that comes from them. However, all too many corporations and individuals become immobile in the face of failure, and unable to do the most important thing according to Harford. And that is to adapt. ASAP ROOFING has learned over the years to adapt to each and every situation ? often times doing whatever it takes to provide customers with the best quality roofing restoration possible.
The most exciting part for ASAP ROOFING, whose sales training programs have been sought after by many other roofing and sales companies, of course is not just that the company itself has been incredible successful, but that individual people have applied these principles to other areas of their lives with success as well.
