The only time I make a real change in my life is when I understand the "real WHY" I want to do the thing I am going after and make a plan to do it.
Not just "want to lose weight and get fitter" or "become a scratch golfer", "better father and husband".
WHY? Because I want to look and feel better, is that enough of a reason to keep you motivated?
NO, you may give it a decent effort for a week or so and then go back to bad habits.
SO DIG DEEPER!
It's harder, it takes more effort; it raises demons you'd rather keep the lid on; but of all I learn from books and experiences over my years, all true lasting successes in life get worse before they get better. My golf swing is a great example of that!
We are impatient creatures (especially in this modern "on demand" era) and think taking time/effort to reflect is a waste of time. With an ever-nagging urge to get on and do something because that makes you feel better temporarily, and that's the kicker...
IT WON'T LAST DONE THIS WAY!
This is a professional career social networking platform, so let's translate personal life goals into business and technology project goals.
Our Tech isn't serving us, so I need to buy more tech, invest in services, migrate to a whole new platform. OK, WHY?
Because it doesn't have AI natively plugged in, we aren't "able" to track anything the way we want, users hate the system, the supplier has no roadmap or not one that supports what we need.
So you're gonna run a web search or ask someone else what they have done, get demos, trust you are presented with all 100% accurate, up-to-date, unbiased information, buy new systems or expand on existing ones, and you want it done as quickly and cheaply as possible.
This isn't baking a cake or shedding a pound or two for a week or so to put it back on — this is CRITICAL business decisions and ventures.
TREAT WITH THE RESPECT AND ATTENTION IT NEEDS.
What happens when you try to do anything with minimal research or limited perspective, half-baked, quickly and cheaply?
IT FAILS (CATASTROPHICALLY)!
That's why PTs, Golf coaches, Technology Consultants get results and good ones even better because they cover off all areas; unbiased listening, freely challenge you, know when to intervene and when to let you run with it, keep you on track and motivated with measurables and path to success!
The INEO Projects Framework brings all the learning and experience over my 25+ years working in Technology driven businesses of all shapes, sizes at various stages of their business growth. We have curated all the best of breed tools and methodologies designed to get optimal results delivered efficiently and effectively.
Before the urge to dive in and start getting demos, buying bolt-ons, expanding your tech stack, importing or deleting a load of data.
TAKE A BEAT... and give me a call. If I can't help directly, I will know people who can.
