Path to Success

For the past three days, I've been suffering from ocular migranes.   Maybe suffering is a little dramatic..... enduring might be a better word.

Even though we, at Nanepashemet Telcom, are wicked good at what we do, there still is a bit of stress when we are starting a new job.... What are the stumbling points?  Where are the risks?  What are the customer expectations?  Will the customer be realistic or a HardAss?
~
The reason we think about these things is because we have been burnt by all of them in the past.  One thing that is unacceptable at Nanepashemet is failure.   We don't lose money, and we don't fail.    But that doesn't mean that we won't resign the account if it looks like either of these outcomes cannot be avoided.

In order to be successful, you have to have a path to success.   At the beginning of the project, that path is not always clear.

So I think that these ocular migranes are the result of stress as we roll out this big job.

Soon to be eliminated as the path clears up.
