The most important question before spending money

cPanel PHP options
Yesterday Rob tutored me for four hours at my desk. All my blogs (19k+ posts) are on an outdated GoDaddy “Legacy” platform. We are migrating 16 sites from there to a new cPanel account with the latest tech options available.

Dear executive buyer, please keep asking yourself this question until you have a positive revelation.

What is this contract worth after my organization is exposed to, and changed by, the expert’s assistance?

  • What expenses will be slashed or eliminated?
  • What is the difference in organizational health before and after we complete a year-long legitimate effort?
  •  What short and long term worries and vulnerabilities become non-issues and how will that freedom feel?
  • What will the employee vibe be like when your culture is stronger, healthier, and more vibrant?
  • If you were to postpone starting for more than a year, could that indecision turn into two or three years (or never), and when you think about that how do you (and the entire organization) feel?

You should picture your previous life when you had few to no wellness habits and compare it to where you are today, now that you have integrated intentionality and consistency into how you behave in much healthier ways than before. What’s that worth? Hard to calculate, but blindingly obvious.

Worth noting that for a decade i’ve been a web and technology do-it-yourselfer by using GoDaddy’s inexpensive platform. That old way of thinking and doing is no longer effective for the way my business is evolving.

i’ve hired Rob on an indefinite monthly retainer to take my web and technology abilities into 2019 and beyond. This is going to change everything about the way i used to think and behave.

My old GoDaddy account’s highest PHP update is one update away from not supporting the WordPress blogs that contain my life’s work. And i never knew. Plus, the Legacy account has me trapped because it doesn’t currently offer even the lowest update solution.

Bottom line, what can be measured doesn’t always matter, and what matters can’t always be measured.

The best Disney Keynote Speakers have no choice but to flourish

Disney Leadership spacers
Two business insights scribbled down during a business call last week. The first one i’ve said for 15 years. the second for the first time during last week’s call.

 

The Disney decision should always be this one…

The decision to do it one way or the other way, you always pick the better way.

The purpose of organizational vibrancy is to have more people doing better things more often.

With this combination of intentional and organic cultural transformation, your brand has no choice but to flourish.

Disney’s top business insight

Disney Speakers
Couple days ago in Disneyland’s Toon Town.

 

The most important Disney business insight, the one that captures the essence of the whole volume:

We over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

 

Yeah, it’s that simple.

Say this to yourself and see if it makes perfect sense (it should)…

I now over-focus on the same things I used to under-focus on or ignore.

Business connections don’t fall from the sky.

As a small business startup, you often wish they did.

The good news?

i love making and building business connections.

The bad news?

It’s time-consuming.

The good news?

Nearly every business practice has never-ending room for creative improvement.

Better scale. More impact. Greater contribution. Bigger ripple effect.
