How Quickly Things Can Change in Business . . . And In Life

A heartbeat . . . things can change in a heartbeat.

Here I was more or less coasting successfully, doing a bang up business, not aggressively promoting my services, quite pleased with myself, and then . . .

. . . I read a newsletter this morning, one of many I get from the Brian Tracy Organization, and this particular quote really hit me and stuck to me today. Sometimes they do that.

I realized that my company was in fact at this point right now, and it first scared me, and then excited me . . . Here is the quote:

"There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance. Miss that moment, and you start to decline." -- Andy Grove, Intel CEO

It started my brainstorming session. I immediately wrote my thoughts out as they crept in and a new plan for my company started to emerge. Suffice to say that my goals for my company and my life this year just changed drastically.

More to come as I develop my new vision for 2008 and beyond.
