GROUP ACTION

Never doubt a group of strong minded, focused individuals who set out to make a difference together.
This week I have crossed many challenges while trying to get the Krank Systems Jersey City temporary location ready for the start of boot camps on January 31st.  Although I was able to stay on schedule most of the week, Mother Nature had different plans.  On Wednesday, we were hit with a snow storm which dropped anywhere from 19 – 32 inches across the tri-state area(mind you there’s another one coming on Tuesday..urgh!).  This not only set me back on my timeline but it also held up my deliveries and put constraints on time needed to manage other aspects of the business.
Although I felt frustrated and was being pulled in all different directions, at the end of the day the bottom line was getting it done.  I sought out to resolve every problem that arouse but in some instances wasted more time thinking on how to resolve the problem rather than seeking help or someone’s expertise for a solution.  As the saying goes, “two head’s are better than one”. With that said, I started to recruit my team…I went to Home Depot, Lowe’s, Pier One Imports, as well as many other sources to seek out answers.  In the end, my team (although they didn’t know they were part of a team) helped get my tasks completed a lot faster, using less money, wasting little time, and implementing the best solution.
We as human beings are not perfect therefore, we as human beings do not always have the solution to every problem.  And, even if we did, maybe it’s not the best solution.  For those of you who have been looking for a solution to your problems, try gathering your own team of resources to brain storm the best solution.
We are strong as individuals but when we find ourselves collaborating to achieve similar goals we become an unstoppable force.  Monday will be the first Krank Systems boot camp in Jersey City (whoot, whoot)…I am sure my new recruits will use each other as a supportive motivational resource to pull through the class…it’s going to be a tough one ;) ;).
