The CK Daily – Lessons Learned: It’s fun learning new things
Happy Thursday and welcome to another episode of lessons learned. I am Craig and here are my ramblings for the day.
As a team that meets daily, we talk about all sorts of things; tasks of the day, areas where we are stuck, upcoming todos, wishlist items, personal life, and much more. Recently we were sharing how things have been so different since we rearranged the team and changed our processes for working together since late last year.
One of the things we were talking about was how fun it is to learn new things. Change can be hard, but when done with a purpose it can be quite fun to lock arms and “get ‘er done”.
When trying to break out of the ways of old and forge new paths to a brighter and better future there are always new things to learn, and sometimes learning, whether we like it or not, is difficult. In some cases REALLY difficult.
But you know, without the challenge of learning, and doing life together, it would all be so boring, wouldn’t it?
Lately, we have been working really hard to identify, define, measure, and track progress on each element of what makes our customer acquisition and growth engine tick. About the time we think we have it all figured out, we realize we are not there yet. We try new things based on what we believe we learned, and it doesn’t seem to work. Then things work that we didn’t expect to work. It can sometimes be so confusing and even frustrating. But, that is the path to learning.
And learning is fun. At least that’s what we tell ourselves lol.
