Other Added - When the Trip Has Finished Starts the Hard Work
How long will your office space be filled with noise, dust, confusion and distractions? No matter how long it is too long.You can escape all the remodeling hassles by renting commercial office space for a week, month or however long you need it. And often the expense is more than justified by keeping your business productivity high.Commercial office space doesn’t refer to retail facilities. It is a concept originally developed
Guide. Do you need a guide – A Management Style Guide for example. The style reflecting the way you find your destination. And is this guide a person, a team or a paper-guide with some hints, tips and warnings that will support you on the way?
Again, a normal journey with a “known” destination might not require such a guide. Yet a quest for a change will probably appreciate such a guide. In fact how would you manage to g
A fateful day is coming when there will be no more advertising, marketing, or public relations. Why? Simple: we're killing our industry by being too successful at it.The communications field keeps finding new ways to send sales messages to target audiences, and by utilizing these new methods to the maximum extent possible, we are strangling the effectiveness of all media. Quite frankly, marketing intrusiveness is out of control.<
In general. Traveling is often used as a metaphor to explain a change. People travel all the time and changes are also omnipresent. You can travel alone or with a team. And the destination of a journey may be seen as the result of a new change. You are never the same when you have experienced a journey or holiday, but the way in which you have really changed is limited.
The journey. To map this metaphor the journey could be mapped on a change program. Your organization runs this change program and at the end, the program (journey) is over and the change is made.
Preparations. A long journey requires some preparations or planning. For a journey this is easily done and a free choice for the traveler. If its pure holiday you are free to improvise but you would be sorry if all the hotels are booked just at the moment you had planned to visit. A change could be planned but with much less certainty. The destination – the next topic – is a place that needs to be constructed. This is one of the liabilities of a change that you never know when you have “made it.”
Destination. The destination could either be the same place from where you departed or a new location. In the first case, the journey could be anything as simple as a holiday or as promising as a sabbatical. The longer the time you take for this sabbatical, the harder it will be you zip back into your old life. And that’s the risk of such a tour that you may have changed over time. So even if the destination is the same, the result – as being a real change – may be significant.
Luggage. What luggage do you need or wish to carry with you. The luggage may fall under the preparations. The more luggage the better you ought to be prepared what ever you may encounter on your trip. But there is no guarantee, neither for the real journey, nor for the change in process. Knowledge however, is an element that fits both worlds. This is one reason why projects exist; to bundle all possible knowledge in order to increase the chance of success.

If you're reading this, chances are there is one thing for sure: you have an interest in becoming a home based business entrepreneur. Maybe you're adventurous and are sick of the rat race that you're living and want to live the experience of owning your own business. Or perhaps, you eventually want to become self employed so you have more time and freedom. Whatever the reason, there's one main goal that always seems to be the do-or-die ingr

At every talk I give, I ask the audience to tell me the reasons why people don't change careers. The most common answer given each time is "lack of money." So many people have such an exaggerated fear about money that they will not even take the time to determine how much they will need to do work they love in the first place!Does this sound like you? Do you feel stuck where you are, trapped by your own perceptions?I

Shortcomings. Travel versus Moving. We have seen it and we forget the importance, the impact is fading once you are back for a week. Moving seems to be more accurate as a change. Or if you decide to use the travel metaphor for supporting a change, you should also know its shortcomings. And these are at the end, when you think that the journey is over. When managing a change, the real challenge starts when the trip is finished. Then starts the hard work; to control and check whether the “delivered” change doesn't fade away.
Using a metaphor is alright as long as you signal the shortcomings and act to compensate them...
