DID I hear you SAY your IT Contracting practice is more like a SLOT machine and not like a VENDING Machine?
Rob.. I'm curious to know.. exactly what do you MEAN by that!!!
Well an IT Contracting Practice that operates like a SLOT machine is one where you
(a) put a coin in the slot and
(b) HOPE for the BEST that you HEAR all the coins clatter when they spill out of the TRAY and onto the floor after you pressed the button.
This works, it is easy, and thankfully requires no effort and is fun... for a while.
UNFORTUNATELY eventually the coins (in the cup you hold in your hand).. run dry with nothing left to put in the slot...
THATS what I refer to as an IT Contracting Practice that operates like a SLOT Machine.
It favors the BOOM time.
So what is the VENDING Machine you ask?
Well that is when you go to a vending machine and you PRESS the Coca Cola button.. you expect to get Coca Cola.. AND you ALWAYS do!! It gives you a sense of security, predictability and I suspect certainty.
UNLIKE the SLOT machine theh VENDING machine FAVORS the PROFESSIONAL
UNFORTUNATELY the VENDING Machine requires that you have a very specific and highly TARGETED practice where you KNOW EXACTLY what will come out the BOTTOM when you PRESS the CONTRACT button. If that make sense
SURVIVAL BELIEFS
One thing to be VERY careful about is how we are RUN by our 'SURVIVAL' BELIEFS.
When we are caught in our most vulnerable moments
we doubt our ability to continue making our way in the world.
WE will ALWAYS be caught out in life's moments... Thats the risk of what it is to be human is all about... so that is NOT the problem.
Where we will encounter increasing problems is an ever growing set of 'survival' 'strategies' accumulating on a tree of mistaken BELIEFS.
So I suggest if you are between contracts right NOW... to set aside a moment to reflect on YOUR survival beliefs AND Morty Lefkoe on how we FORM our survival beliefs...

Reminder
Being held accountable is less about checking up and more about being reminded.
Its smart way to go because
we have so many things pulling at our attention it gets way too easy for something important to slip us by.
Think back to a time when this happened to you...
just a small thing... but was important.. that cost you not because you didn't want to address it but because you got snowed under with all the other issues that it slipped your mind completely.
Being held accountable will overcome this problem because
its not about checking up.. its about helping you remember to get the most important things, that could slip your mind, tended to so they don't cause you a large headache for forgetting.

POWER of PROBLEMS
I'd like to show a Videoclip from Tony Robbins getting ready for Date With Destiny
where in the clip he explains the POWER of PROBLEMS.
The TRUTH about a PROBLEM
where in the clip he explains the POWER of PROBLEMS.
The TRUTH about a PROBLEM
Our ONLY problem IS
we THINK our problem is THE problem
AND
that we BELIEVE we are NO good at SOLVING problems
AND the 'death-rattle' is
that we BELIEVE we should NOT have problems
