It is interesting how you can define "living" and "dying".  When things are good, you may feel like you and your company are living.  And so, you continue to do those things and rest on those larels.  But "living" without constant re-evaluation (and re-calibration) of business and environmental factors begs the question, "Am I truly living right now or just not dying".  &lt;br&gt;When the environment changes, those things that were helping you "live" can take you to your "death".  Constantly taking an objective look at your own organization and making sure your plan lends itself favorably to CURRENT environmental variables is a very important step.  &lt;br&gt;Thanks for the thoughts.  -- Jared &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jaredlock</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:51:54 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
