Susan is headed for the mountains to ski 🎿 this week. The trip was planned months ago long before the holidays and is now in full execution mode. This isn’t her ski trip so the planning took time but was straight forward. Planning to do something new or bigger is often more involved. If you are feeling a bit stuck in creating your “do good feel good” plan for the whole year, join Susan to learn how to apply Lean Methodology and the Agile Method to see your “do good feel good” resolutions become reality.

I am a self-confessed stress head.

I make endless lists. I have backups for my backups, contingency plans for every possible outcome, and I find myself trying to find solutions to problems that haven’t even happened yet. Being unprepared is one of my worst fears. I exist in a world of “oh but what if…”

But no matter how much time you spend trying to avoid obstacles, the inevitable amount of stress and frustration rears its ugly head when something doesn’t go according to plan.

The solution? Don’t have a plan.

I didn’t get it at first either. Being unprepared when it comes to working with clients is practically a sin. But as terrifying as that may sound, there is very simple logic behind it that is frequently overlooked. About 20 pages into reading The Lean Startup, something clicked.

Not too long ago I was stressing about making a big decision. However, this decision needed to be made on a basis of what if’s based on logic – If A, B and C, then D, with this big decision significantly further down the alphabet. After hours of seeking advice from peers, creating a pro and con list, attempting to make arrangements for my schedule based on either outcome, and being about 3 eBay clicks away from purchasing a Magic 8 Ball, I realised something.

I don’t have to make this decision yet.

I may not have to make it at all.

Why am I spending so much time and energy worrying about it?

This is exactly what the Lean Start-up addresses straight off the bat.

Respond to problems as they arise, and use your time and skill set efficiently to when you have an actual problem - no assumptions of where problems “might” be, and therefore no time wasted fixing something that may not be a problem at all. The most efficient way to find what those real problems are? Let your market point them out to you. Launching your product before it is “ready” or “finished” means you quickly see what needs to be fixed. Then you fix them.

Now, the idea of delivering an ‘unfinished’ product is horrifying. As a photographer, the 'wow’ factor in my work is the finished product. It makes me feel like the client will see me as a corner-cutting slacker, and subsequently view my work as sub-par. I always pour hours into what I do to ensure that it’s the best I could ever possibly do. Under-promise and over-deliver, right? But many a time have I spent days editing hundreds of photos, when the client only really wanted five, and in the end only needed one. If I only edited those initial five, I could have binge-watched Game of Thrones Season 4 instead of tirelessly editing and my client would still receive the same thing. The client doesn’t really care about your process, they care about the end result. So get to the end result in 8 hours instead of 80.

Although aimed at start-up businesses, The Lean Startup is easily applicable to any project. Split testing gives you real, solid data to work with and evaluate. Say goodbye to speculation, no more “if”s. There is no scenario A, B, C and D, there is only one – the actual, current environment. A continual process of Build > Measure > Learn, where mistakes are welcome because “failures” provide valuable information on how to proceed. You avoid wasting time, and therefore you avoid the stress of realising how much time you have wasted. The crux of these processes is to help you work smart, not hard.

These principles mean that you start to working with the client, not for them – both of you can see feedback rolls in from your marketed, there’s no wasted time speculating on the what if’s. If something is not working or needs to be changed, you have solid, specific data to refer to. You start to do things for your client because it will benefit them, not just because they told you to. A more team-oriented and collaborative approach over a typical employer-employee hierarchy, where the client learns and understands what we are doing and why. I get it now!
