Change is hard

I know I am not telling you anything you don’t know, but spare a thought for the person who has developed a certain mastery in something and suddenly finds that the rules have changed and the mastery she has developed is no longer effective.

It happens more frequently than you would perhaps think. The motorcycle racer who needs to develop a whole new style to keep up with the young talent coming through. The rugby player who finds his favourite move now outlawed. The footballer who has to change his whole methodology because the team boss chooses a new formation or set of tactics.

Every day I encounter successful people whose secret sauce of mastery is no longer working. Your typical entrepreneur is someone who has an ability to make things happen. They tend to prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission and they drive straight through blockers. That is often how they get started.

The irony is that they find the stuff that really smoothed the way in the early part of their careers is exactly the same stuff that gets in the way as their businesses expand; when working with and through people is preferable to riding roughshod over people.

It is a truth that what gets you here won’t get you there and often it is a case of change or die. Change is hard. Hard but not impossible, with a bit of help.

Many successful business owners eventually hit a wall on growth and struggle to climb it alone. When you work with me you get a fresh perspective, a solid plan, and customised coaching so you can grow and scale your business safely and at speed.
