Running a business is stressful enough.
Trying to modernize your IT on top of that?
That can feel impossible.
But here’s the part most CEOs don’t realize:
Fixing your IT is almost identical to trying to quit smoking.
And research backs this up.
The Science: Change Is Hard Without a Guide
According to behavioral studies from the NIH and CDC, people who try to quit smoking are 2–3× more successful when they work with a coach, have a structured system, and receive accountability along the way.
Why?
Because long-term habits don’t break by accident.
They break when you have:
-
A clear plan
-
A structured process
-
Someone walking with you
-
Support when you slip
-
A system that removes temptation
Sound familiar?
This is exactly why most businesses struggle with IT transformation.
The Business Parallel: IT Relapse Is Real
Most companies don’t fail because they’re careless.
They fail because they’re busy—and they fall back into old patterns:
-
“We’ll deal with upgrades next quarter.”
-
“We can fix that server ourselves.”
-
“We’ll install MFA later.”
-
“Let’s patch the firewall after things calm down.”
This creates IT relapse, the business version of going back to the very habit you were trying to quit.
Before long, the organization is stuck with:
-
Outdated hardware
-
Unsupported software
-
Rising security risks
-
Slow systems
-
No standardized processes
Everything “seems fine”…
right up until it very suddenly isn’t.
