In order to survive a quickly changing world, it&#8217;s simple:<strong> EVOLVE OR DIE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic2-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Change - a reality\" class=\"wp-image-1715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic2-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic2-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic2-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic2-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic2-3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing up in 10 different countries gave me a very unique perspective on change. Every few years I had to uproot my entire life and move to a new country, a new culture, a new school, new friends, new language, new weather, new <strong>EVERYTHING<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Change was not a choice, change was my reality.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dealing with this constant change was not easy. Every time we moved, I had to categorize everything I owned into 3 boxes &#8211; <strong>Keep, Discard &amp; Discuss<\/strong>. \u201cKeep\u201d and \u201cdiscard\u201d are self-explanatory but \u201cdiscuss\u201d was the most interesting. It was in the conversation that we realized it wasn&#8217;t WHAT we owned that made something important, but WHY we owned it. Whenever you are dealing with change personally or professionally, it&#8217;s important to consider WHY we are doing something before jumping into WHAT we are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic1-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Focus on Why\" class=\"wp-image-1710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic1-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic1-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic1-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic1-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pic1-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me explain. <strong>Blockbuster<\/strong>, the infamous story of a company disrupted by technological innovation, lost because they focused on the WHAT. Blockbuster focused on WHAT they did &#8211; dvd&#8217;s, movies, brick-and-mortar stores. If they had instead focused on WHY they did it &#8211; to bring entertainment into the heart of the home &#8211; they would have found ways to stay relevant especially when Netflix came around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kodak <\/strong>is another famous example of a company that was globally reputed for developing the most advanced cameras and camera film. But they lost out to digital photography not because they didn&#8217;t have access to them (ironically they held some of the earliest patents on digital photography) but because they focused on WHAT they were doing (cameras and camera film) rather than WHY they were in the business (to capture life&#8217;s most precious moments regardless of device or platform)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a digital world, it&#8217;s easy to fall into the trap of attempting to incorporate everything from Artificial Intelligence to Virtual\/Augmented Reality to Blockchain and more. My only recommendation is to lead the discussion with WHY you want to change, rather than what you are changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I want to hear from YOU.&nbsp; Let me know <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">your <\/mark>WHY in the comments below!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*to help you bring FOCUS to your life I\u2019ve created a <strong>free worksheet<\/strong> to help you sort out your own personal \u201cKeep,\u201d \u201cDiscard,\u201d \u201cDiscuss,\u201d lists!&nbsp; <strong>Download <\/strong>your copy HERE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focus-on-Why-Keep-Discard-Discuss.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Focus-on-Why-Keep-Discard-Discuss.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-11432aff-ddc0-4848-bf4b-e57e0ee1ff8e\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focus-on-Why-Keep-Discard-Discuss.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Focus-on-Why-Keep-Discard-Discuss<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focus-on-Why-Keep-Discard-Discuss.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-11432aff-ddc0-4848-bf4b-e57e0ee1ff8e\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-vivid-red-color has-css-opacity has-vivid-red-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button popmake-1354\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Want to learn more?
