Try different

The usual mantra is to ‘try harder’. Trying harder is impossible when you’re already trying as hard as you can.

But you can always try different.

Years ago, I was creating trivia questions for a product we built for Prodigy. We had a 99% accuracy rate in doing the questions. Which was great, except there were 1800 questions in a batch, which meant 18 wrong each time, which was totally and completely unacceptable. These were honest mistakes, made by smart people working as hard as they could.

No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t do better than 99%. So we switched our system completely and did it in a totally different way. Same number of people, same number of hours, 100% accuracy.

If it’s not working, harder might not be the answer.

It's Nice to Share...

RoosterMoon.com runs on the
Genesis Framework

(and so do the sites we build for our clients)

Genesis is flexible, powerful, and has amazing support; it provides the secure and search-engine-optimized foundation that takes WordPress to places you never thought it could go. It's that simple - start using Genesis now!

I highly recommend using the Genesis Framework, and also occasionally recommend other products I believe would be helpful to you in your business. If you make a purchase through my link, it's likely that I will receive a commission. This doesn't increase your price; in fact, sometimes I'm able to negotiate a lower-than-retail price for my readers.
