Transition from Corporate to Entrepreneurship
Ria’s transition from a corporate environment to entrepreneurship brought new challenges. She found herself overwhelmed by buzzwords like “agile” and “sprint” and struggled to manage the vast amount of tasks and information. Working with creatives, in addition to developers, added complexity to her situation. She realized the need to streamline and manage her workflow, which led her to discover the Paperless Movement® and the ICOR® course.
Embracing the ICOR® Framework
The ICOR® framework helped Ria think in terms of Information and Action, allowing her to divide and manage her tasks more effectively. She went through the ICOR® Mastery Course step by step, taking detailed notes and learning to cut down on unnecessary information that caused clutter in her systems. The course helped her break down goals, projects, tasks, and to-do’s, making her daily routine more manageable.
The Revelation of the ICOR® Framework
Starting with the ICOR® framework was initially a lot of work for Ria, as she had to figure out where her information was scattered across various apps. However, the process was straightforward, and she managed to organize her information effectively. The video showcases her progress, highlighting the significant jump from chaos to organization. Ria’s transformation emphasizes the life-changing impact of the ICOR® framework.
The Importance of Analyzing and Organizing
The video emphasizes the importance of stopping and analyzing one’s life to understand the mess that can occur when not paying attention to where information is stored and how projects are managed. By writing things down in the ICOR® framework, Ria was able to understand her starting point and realize the duplication and disorganization in her system. This realization was a crucial step in solving her situation.
