Caught up in Trial & Errors of Life?

Let me share a series of blunders I have committed on the same thing, and therefore ended up with same outcomes.

Purchase stories in chronological order.

#1 First purchase?– Acer Mini Laptop with a Touch screen(2017)

Purpose?–?Coaching online, including Group Coaching and virtual one-on-one online sessions

Reason to discard?– The CPU could not manage the load.


#2 Second purchase?– All-in-one Lenovo Desktop?(2019)

Purpose?– To stay in one place and at a particular time in the day?

? Coaching online, including Group Coaching and virtual one-on-one online sessions

Reason to discard?– The storage capacity was limited, so I gave it away as a gift to a distant cousin who was in dire need of a PC


#3 Third Purchase?– Lenovo IdeaPad?(2020)?

Purpose?– Flexibility of a Laptop

Coaching online, including Group Coaching and virtual one-on-one online sessions

Reason to discard?– The camera quality was poor, I was not satisfied with the quality, especially during the video sessions?


#4 Fourth?Purchase?– Lenovo IdeaPad Flex- Combination of touch screen and pen?(2023) ? ?

Purpose?– Was carried away by the glamour than the actual usage of the pen and the touchscreen?

Coaching online, including Group Coaching and virtual one-on-one online sessions

Reasons

Are you able to identify one primary reason I ended up with recurring issues with my laptop purchase? if you are a tech geek with lot of information on laptops, you may have found a few technical glitches as reasons.

But, let me share?the real reasons.

  • Following a faulty approach that does not include seeking support from an expert.
  • Considering oneself as an expert with the limited knowledge gathered through various sources
  • and trying to resolve a costly purchase decision via trial and error, & DIY mode.

Cost of Faulty approach to Difficult times

? ? Now imagine if the same faulty approach we may adapt, if we are going through a difficult time or a challenging situation in life, and instead of help, we engage in some kind of self-trial and error mechanisms, with the hope that one day everything will be fine or will miraculously resolve.

What outcomes or results do you expect then?

And are you willing to pay the price for it?

Think…..

And decide, till then, I want to extend my helping hand and all ears to your problem.
