When to Start Over

I’ve been wrestling with a particular piece of technology for quite some time. Usually, when it comes to tech challenges, I can eventually find a solution. But this time, it feels like I’m just banging my head against a wall, making little progress. After much reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to call it quits and start fresh.

Recognizing When It’s Time to Start Over

Does this scenario sound familiar to you? Perhaps you’re tackling your book marketing efforts, telling yourself, “Just one more tweak, one more strategy, and it’ll all click.” Yet, despite the repeated efforts, frustration continues to grow. Instead of making meaningful progress, you might find yourself spinning your wheels, dumping more time, money, and effort into tactics that aren’t providing the results you need.

I empathize deeply if this resonates with you. It’s challenging to admit when our best efforts aren’t yielding the desired outcome. What I’ve found to be helpful in my journey is having a clear vision of my goals. Knowing where I want to go dramatically influences the path I take to get there. This concept is something I bring into my work with authors—helping them first envision their destination and then outline the steps to achieve it.

Prioritizing What Truly Matters

It’s crucial to understand that the issue isn’t always the technology or the specific strategies you employ. Often, it’s about understanding what truly matters and why, then choosing the right tools and strategies to achieve those core objectives. I strive to assist authors by helping them clarify what they truly need to succeed, rather than getting bogged down by external advice that might not fit their unique needs.

I owe a huge thanks to my colleagues at LeadHershipGlobal, particularly Linda Fisk, for emphasizing the importance of evaluating when something isn’t working and encouraging a strategic reset. Taking a step back allows you to connect with others, gather new insights, and realign your strategies accordingly.
