When Data Becomes Problematic To Success

Where Most People Go Wrong With The Numbers

I work with a lot of people who want to become the best versions of themselves.

Many of them look for whatever edge they can get to reach their Peak Performance.

Often, this leads to Data Tracking of some sort.

Whether it is tracking Profits and Costs, HRV, or Nutrition (among other things), we have a tendency, as Humans, to look to the Numbers.

For good Reason!

Data can allow us to see Trends, get more Accurate Information, and quickly see when things are Strange or Going Poorly.

However, there is a Dark Side that comes with Data.

For some people, the Data ends up becoming a Barrier to their Success.

So, how can you determine if Data is Benefitting You, or becoming a Detriment to Your Results?

The first thing that you have to ask is if the Data is causing You (or those you Lead) to have Compulsive Behavior.

For some people, their response to seeing certain types of Data is that they begin to shape “Everything” around getting Specific Results around that Data.
