Impatience

We are an impatient society. We want what we want and we want it now; and the world in which we live supports that:

  • We want to buy something, we simply go on-line, order it and in some cases, it will arrive the same day.
  • We are hungry and don’t want to cook, we can order a wide variety of options and have the food delivered in 30 minutes.
  • Depending on where we buy our groceries, we can have them delivered or order them and then pick them up without even getting out of our cars.

This creates unrealistic expectations in many areas of our lives. If we want to master a skill, it takes more than a day to learn it. If we have an injury, it takes more than one visit to a Physical Therapist for it to be better. If we want to lose 10 pounds, it takes more than a one-week change of eating habits. If we want to become fit, one workout will not accomplish that.

This desire for immediate solutions and/or gratification can impact our ability to achieve greatness. The reality is that some of what we want cannot be achieved within a day – or a week – or a month. For those areas in our lives that require change, we must consider putting in the work.

Those who have achieved much success in their lives confirm this:

  • Michael Jordan, the great NBA basketball player said: “I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don’t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.”
  • Colin Powell, U.S. Secretary of State and retired four-star general once said: “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
  • Pele, Brazilian footballer (soccer) player shared: “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”

Commitment to anything takes, well, commitment. Such is the same with using My COO Resources. It is not a magic bullet that will solve your Company’s operational challenges in a day. It requires dedication to work through the Solutions so that your Company can achieve operational effectiveness. We recommend a Company commit to 60 minutes a week for addressing the operational issues identified through the Simple Start Assessments. Four hours a month to begin seeing improvements within your Company is a small commitment that over several months will reap change within your Company.
