We recently worked with a highly experienced consultant in his late 50s. Like many leaders at that stage of their career, he felt the 'ticking clock.' He knew his runway was narrowing and was eager to secure his legacy with a new, high-impact project.
He came to us with what he believed was a masterstroke: a $250,000 investment in a new software license to promote into the marketplace. On the surface, it sounded like a solid plan.
But before he signed on the dotted line, we sat down to audit the strategy against his long-term goals.
We had to be blunt. That "good idea" was actually a distraction that would have drained his capital and, more importantly, cost him the one thing he couldn't afford to waste: his time.
By cutting through the hype and looking at his business foundation, we saved him $250,000 and the years of frustration he would have spent chasing a misaligned goal.
