In the early days of any startup business, be prepared. You as an innovator, entrepreneur, or just plain engineer, designer and project manager know what being prepared means.
Or do you?
The pace of change, communications and human emotions reach their extremes in the early stages of most business growth.
Are you ready and prepared to deal with the amount of new challenges you shall now face as each day unfolds before you?
Before you understood what starting and running a new business is really all about, you may have thought for a moment how exciting it would be.
Then one day it begins to dawn on your colleagues, your investors and your potential customers that this idea has some flaws.
The business marketplace you have chosen has not yet arrived at what the real problem-set is, that your particular solution truly solves.
Or is it something else?
You see, it all comes back to the pace of change and the ability for some people to master the new skills, the new vision or the new outcomes unfolding before you.
The more rapidly you and your startup team accelerate upwards and forward to achieve that breakpoint, the sooner you will hit that next part of your own particular growth curve:
Breakpoint and Beyond: Mastering the Future Today
“Assists in predicting and mastering industrial, social, political, and personal change by tracking the pattern of major "breakpoints" in human history and revealing the great truths hidden in them”
As you now stare at the gallery of people on your next “Teams” or “Zoom” session, remember that you are on a real mission together.
After you understand that running a new business involves a tremendous amount of time and resources to get people to perform the way you imagined they would, this is when the breakpoint in your “S” curve takes place.
Are you there yet?
When you and your team start exploring the changes around your startup hypothesis then you are now utilizing the new data, the new feedback and the new human factors into your future achievement.
Keep your chin up.
Now that you have changed your design/prototype, changed your people, changed your market analysis and even changed your purpose for existence, you are mastering your future success…
Godspeed!
