…because when isn’t there a slight change of plans? When does everything go exactly as planned?
My business is strategy, the art of planning, that’s what I do. Yet not a single one goes exactly as I plan it to.
This is the nature of everything: unpredictability.
- I was supposed to be on a flight to Vegas yesterday. It snowed. Flight cancelled.
- Because my flight got cancelled, my workshop got cancelled. The one I spent nearly 3 hours developing the content for, including slides and worksheets.
I still need to finish the slides for my talk on Thursday, and part of me is a little pissed that I spent so much time on the workshop that got cancelled.
But this is life, and sometimes things don’t go according to plan. But honestly, how much fun is predictability?
So now, I do what one does when things don’t go according to plan: pivot, adapt, move fast.
