Nothing fancy. Just presume, for a second, that my last post was substantially right. We will have a technical recovery from an economic perspective, but it won’t feel anything like prosperity.
Ask yourself two questions:
1. What will my business look like two years from today if the economy stays exactly as it is this moment?
2. What did I do to make my company that way?
As a business owner, you know what it’s like to lie awake at 2 a.m. Maybe it has happened when you are excited and full of new ideas for your business. More often, it’s because you are worried about issues you will face the next day. Sometimes, it’s because you just woke up with the solution to a problem. I’ve experienced all those emotions about my businesses over the years. Awake at 2 o’clock? is where I share them with you, and hopefully help with answers that will let you sleep.

Good thoughts, Our TAB board is constantly drilling that into us. If this is the business climate I'm in, what should I be doing.
