For Individuals

How do you know you could use some help from PorterWorks?

Reason #1:  You own too many sacred cows.  Robert Kriegel and David Brandt addressed this issue in their popular 1996 book, "Sacred Cows Make the Best Burgers."  Doing things the way you've always done them--the "sacred cows" of outdated ideas, beliefs, practices and processes--is not always in your best interest.  Not when business--and the world--are changing at the speed of light.  As Darwin wrote, "It is not the strongest that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most adaptable to change."  Hey!  That's a quote worth posting on your desktop!

Reason #2:  You can't see the forest for the trees.  Okay.  You're a professional; you've been doing what you're doing for long enough to be considered an expert.  But maybe you've been at it just long enough that you can't see the places where you might be getting stuck.  Like Little Red Riding Hood you know the path through the forest but you've wondered off it.  You've got myopic vision--or no vision at all.  You need a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at your methods and recommend a new approach.

Reason #3:  You've lost momentum.  Maybe it's the economy.  Maybe you feel stalled in your career.  Maybe you're just plain tired.  Ever try to start a new exercise program alone and find you can't stick with it?  But if you team up with a friend it's easier to keep each other honest and keep going.  As Jackie Joyner-Kersee said, "In order to meet the challenge, you have to have that support."

Reason #4:  You've hit a plateau.  It seems like you've leveled off and can't get any farther.  You need some help to see and scale the next peak and keep your competitive edge.  As climber, Hervey Voge wrote, "The mountains will always be there, the ts trick is to make sure you are too."
