13122: Are You (Sometimes) Out Of Order? Let's Fix That

03/14/23 • 5 min

Hey there, hero!
I've observed people quickly search for an answer to a problem, find some information, and because time is (almost always) of the essence...
...jump right in to "fixing" the problem. But it doesn't get fixed, and they don't know why. We all want to be efficient with our problem solving, but there's a crucial component to "efficient": your step-by-step use of that solution's info.
In many cases, the information is great. The problem is the order of execution. Let's take the example of Jess, who wrote me about a problem they couldn't quite solve, even though they had all the information they needed.
It was their order of execution.
Once you've listened to this episode, would you please take a moment and share with me a moment that you got ahead of yourself? Let me know in the comments below.

13121: Do You Really Need The Latest And Greatest Version?

Hey there, hero!
Are you addicted to making changes to your tried and true processes? Are you constantly tinkering, adjusting and toying with stuff?
Or do you only change when you need to?
If the newest, latest stuff has your eye, even if what you have now is working fine for you, well...you're not alone.
I see lots of performers searching for perfection...going for the newest mic, an updated computer, the latest operating system, the hot new mobile device...when what they are currently using is working just fine for them.
And then, there are others who only change when they see a need to, a real need, like security issues, not being able to run a crucial update because their gear is too old, or a feature that's only available on a newer edition of a product.
And at the same time, your metrics might change - the standards by which you judge your success.
So...
Where are you with this? Is change a struggle for you? Let me know in the comments below.

13123: Don't Be Too Proud To Ask For Help

Hey there, hero!
(For those who will listen to the audio podcast: at the very beginning of the episode, I'm holding an object in my hand, up close and in focus on my camera - just in case you're saying "How would I know what that is...I can't see it on an audio podcast!")
I recently needed help. I'm usually the one offering help to others, but this time...I needed help myself.
And I'll be honest - I had to fight the urge to say "Nah! I can do this! I don't need no stinkin' help!"
But I did. And I found I had to set aside my desire to be self-sufficient and not to burden others...and take a bit of my own medicine.
I got help - from one of my clients, Hopper Stone (a badass photographer, who came to the Palatial Lawrence Estate and helped me set up my new video camera.)
Ever find yourself in a moment of pridefulness or embarrassment, not willing to seek the help you need? Tell me all about it in the comments below.
