Lesson learned: - Step out of your own perspective when solving problems-start with the macro view, not the micro. Focus on what's best for the client, not just what you're skilled at. First, understand the core problem and needs, then find the right solution or tools, rather than forcing a fit. Be transparent if you're not the best person for the job-it pays off long-term. Don't work just to close a sale; work to deliver real value to the client, even if that means passing the job to someone else. - Prioritize the best solution for the client, not your own preferences. Kick your ego out of the door. - Business and tech are inseparable- technology should drive business improvement. Build solutions that genuinely work for the client, optimizing cost, speed, and quality to benefit the entire business.
Yes, 100% correct man. From my experience what i see is if you “force” any solution, then in 1,6,12 months it will be obvious to the client that you’ve ok purpose forced tools/solutions that weren’t a 100% fit for them. And then that would damage the relationship. What I sometimes do is tell the client that for example some solution is a 80% fit for them and tell them about all possible risks. And they still want to go ahead with us. So don’t look at it just black and white.
Obviously watching this !! 💯 Keep crushing it and see you soon.
