Here's how you can effectively analyze and evaluate different strategic options as a personal coach.
The best advice I’ve heard is the old joke: “How many personal coaches does it take to change a lightbulb?” “Just one, but the lightbulb has to really, really want to change.” In my experience, they have to go beyond just identifying their underlying motives. They have to build their reasons for wanting to change — often they have not made the list of everything they will gain from changing, plus everything they will lose from not changing. Just that exercise sets the stage for the habits they will need to build so they can achieve whatever it is they want to gain from the coaching.

What do you do if industry disruptions are threatening your business?
We saw this when the Enterprise Software industry transitioned to SaaS. At @CATechnologies, many of their categories came under fire from firms like ServiceNow, Solar Winds, and New Relic. Their approach was a bit different, and it led to a big increase in valuation in a pretty short timeframe. 1. Fight it out with Private Equity - there is usually an opportunity to change the company through acquisition. If you have distribution but are disrupted on product, you should be able to buy early stage companies and scale them to your customer base. 2. Build on core - see the other posts here. 3. Trim - shutter/sell the businesses with slower-growing TAM. It’s very hard to make these calls, but the economics can definitely work out.
