The Speed of Change in Tech is Doubling Every Year. Is Your Business Ready?
Imagine this: Your biggest customer calls you tomorrow and says they’re leaving. Not because of poor service or pricing, but because your competitor just launched a tech-driven solution that you didn’t even know existed.
What would you do?
This isn’t a hypothetical scenario. It’s happening right now to businesses like yours. The speed of technological change is doubling every year, and if you’re not prepared, your business could be left behind.
As a business coach working with founders, CEOs, and business owners in the ￡1M–￡10M revenue range, I’ve seen firsthand how this acceleration is creating both immense opportunities and existential threats. The question is: Are you ready to adapt, or will you become another cautionary tale?
Let me tell you a story that might hit close to home.
The Story of Two Businesses: One Thrived, One Barely Survived
Last year, I worked with two businesses in the same industry, both generating around ￡3M in revenue. Let’s call them Company A and Company B.
Company A?was confident. They had a loyal customer base, a solid product, and a team that had been with them for years. They believed their success was built to last. But they had one critical blind spot: they underestimated how quickly technology was evolving.
When a new competitor entered the market with an AI-powered platform that streamlined operations and reduced costs by 30%, Company A was caught off guard. Their customers started leaving, and within months, their revenue dropped by 40%.
Company B, on the other hand, was paranoid, in a good way. They knew they couldn’t afford to be complacent. They invested in upskilling their team, adopted new tools to automate repetitive tasks, and partnered with a tech consultant to stay ahead of trends.
When the same competitor emerged, Company B wasn’t just ready, they were already working on their own AI-driven solution. Today, they’re not only retaining their customers but also attracting new ones from competitors like Company A.
The difference? Company B embraced change. Company A resisted it.
Why the Speed of Change is Your Biggest Threat—and Opportunity
Here’s the hard truth: The pace of technological innovation isn’t slowing down. It’s accelerating. What took 10 years to develop a decade ago now takes less than 5. And this trend is only going to continue.
For businesses in the ￡1M–￡10M range, this creates a unique challenge. You’re big enough to feel the impact of disruption but small enough that one wrong move could be catastrophic.
But here’s the good news: You’re also agile enough to adapt faster than larger corporations. The key is to act now, before it’s too late.
3 Critical Problems You’re Facing Right Now (and How to Solve Them)
The Fear of Inaction vs. the Power of Action
Let’s revisit that fear-based hook: What would happen if your biggest customer left tomorrow?
For many businesses, the answer is devastating. But it doesn’t have to be. The difference between thriving and surviving comes down to one thing: action.
The businesses that succeed in this era of rapid change aren’t the ones with the most resources or the best ideas. They’re the ones that act quickly, adapt relentlessly, and embrace uncertainty as an opportunity.

Final Thought: The Future Belongs to the Adaptable
In the words of Charles Darwin, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
Your business has the potential to not just survive but thrive in this era of rapid technological change. But the clock is ticking.
The question is: Will you act now, or wait until it’s too late?
