And never so much so as in business… the people who are at the top often see what they WANT to see and hear what they WANT to hear until everything grinds to a halt and the blame game begins.  New people are brought in until they, too, see what the owner or CEO wants to be seen and hear what is wanted to be heard – and then they are fired for not “fixing” the problem.  I see it over and over and over again.  It is a cycle that occurs in huge corporations and small businesses, it is a cycle that happens because we are all human and at some point, unless we actively seek differing opinions and openly receive new ideas and criticisms, we lapse into what is safe and comfortable and predictable.  Even if it is bad for us… the habit alone provides security.

My company and my associates help to ease you in to embracing changes, looking forward to the uncertainty and growing.  Whether it is your business that you want to grow, or your personal life that needs a boost.  It is extremely rewarding for us, and scary sometimes – because we must be ever vigilant about not falling in to secure boredom too.

Push the envelope and it will eventually fall off the table.  Whether it is lost or a field goal depends on YOUR perspective, doesn’t it?
