One week ago, I got a call from a friend at 10pm at night.
7 hours later I was on an international flight 🛫
I got a text on Saturday night from a friend who runs a training business
Sensing the urgency in his voice I replied and he immediately called.
/1
What had happened was the trainer had pulled out 24 hours before they were scheduled to start.
This was the first of several courses with a new client and was not the first time this person had cancelled. They had already rescheduled this training once before.
/2
With the impact of the economy globally right now, my friend really couldn't afford to lose this client.
His business was on the line and had no where else to go.

1) ⏰ Timeline Roadmap
First up, is the most common and controversial…
the ‘Timeline Roadmap’.
Timeline Roadmaps are common because of their dates. They're similar to project plans and can give a false sense of certainty about when something will be delivered.

This makes Timeline Roadmaps one to avoid. However, they can still be effective when dates are communicated as indicative, not 'set in stone'.
