The Undeniable Business Cost of Settling for Same:
Ronnie Kinsey, MBA
May 27, 2025
Every business of any size has a choice - stand still or spark progress.
Settling for the same feels safe, but it’s the quickest way to get stuck.
Settling for what’s familiar can feel like a smart move.
In partnership with Collective
Keep more of what you earn
Collective helps members keep more of what they earn — saving an average of $10,000 a year in taxes* — while taking countless hours of administrative work off their plates.
Your membership includes LLC and S Corp formation, payroll, monthly bookkeeping, quarterly tax estimates, annual business tax filing and more.
*Based on the average 2022 tax savings of active Collective users with an S Corp tax election for the 2022 tax year
In the rush of daily demands, it’s easy to stick with what’s comfortable.
But what seems safe is often the biggest threat to progress.
You see it in the routines no one questions anymore. In decisions made because “that’s how we do it.”
These habits quietly choke off fresh ideas, slow momentum, and suck the energy out of the room.
They keep businesses stuck in the past.
Breaking that cycle takes more than good intentions.
It takes a system, a spark of awareness that challenges stale practices and invites growth.
That’s where my SPARK framework comes in:
S – Spot the stuck patterns.
Identify the routines and processes that keep you repeating yesterday’s answers.
P – Probe for hidden costs.
Look beyond the obvious. Find the creativity, morale, and innovation that’s getting lost.
A – Ask for fresh perspectives.
Seek voices that challenge the status quo. Let them help you see what’s next.
R – Reframe the narrative.
Let go of comfort as the only goal. Replace it with curiosity and energy for what’s possible.
K – Keep moving with intent.
Small steps turn into big leaps. Each one unlocks new energy and possibility.
Settling for the same feels like a shield, but it’s really a weight.
It keeps you from seeing what’s possible right in front of you.
When you’re willing to challenge those habits and invite better practices, you give yourself - and your team - room to re-create, realign, and excel.
The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.
— Socrates
