Them’s The Rules

The rules of a business aren’t constant.

The rules of an organization aren’t constant.

The rules of a sports game aren’t constant.

The rules on how to get an education aren’t constant.

The rules of marketing aren’t constant.

The rules of managing employees aren’t constant.

The rules of how to make a living aren’t constant.

Anybody who tells you the rules are fixed, anybody who tells you “them’s the rules” are acting as a gatekeeper today.

But tomorrow, that same gate keeping person will be irrelevant when the rules change.

The point is, don’t listen to the people who tell you “them’s the rules” because rules change as often as fashion and culture.
