Apparently, we want better roads and better software. We just don’t want anyone doing construction. 😂
Living in Florida, I’m convinced road construction is a permanent season.
There’s always a lane moving, an exit changing, or a detour that makes you question every decision that brought you there.
Is it frustrating? Absolutely.
But we also want smoother roads, better traffic flow, and infrastructure that can handle where we’re headed.
QuickBooks, or any other software, is much the same.
We ask for better features, fewer clicks, more automation, and tools that keep up with our businesses.
Then something moves, and suddenly:
“WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT?”
I get it. When you know exactly where to click and you’re working against a deadline, a new layout can feel like somebody closed your exit without warning.
I’ve been using Intuit products since the early ’90s. I’ve had plenty of “Who moved my cheese?” moments.
But I’m also excited that the tools are still evolving.
Progress comes with some construction. Sometimes we have to learn a different route before we can appreciate where it takes us.
That doesn’t mean every change is perfect. Report the potholes. Give specific feedback. Explain where the new route creates a problem.
That’s how improvements get better.
But give yourself a chance to learn it, too. Explore it. Ask questions. See what it can do before deciding the old road was the only good one.
We can be frustrated by the detour and still be excited about the destination.
Even if we mutter a few things along the way.
