DESIGN INTERVENTION

Focus on the WHO, not the HOW when new opportunities present themselves. Oftentimes we immediately start trying to figure out HOW we will take on a new project or HOW we will deliver a service, but we should focus on WHO we need on our team to take on a new project. Focusing on the HOW places all the pressure on the business owner’s shoulders. Instead, we should be thinking about WHO we can leverage in our network and team to rise to the challenge and happily accept new opportunities.
