Standing Still: Not an Option


"He not busy being born is busy dying."

"It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"
Bob Dylan





While Bob was referring to a person dying, the same holds true for companies, which, when all is said and done, are nothing more than the people who work in them.


Is yours busy being born (continually renewing) or dying (stagnant)?

What about you?

  1. I have to continually prod myself to not become stagnant and not just in my business life but my personal life as well.

    It isn't easy to do; inertia is a powerful force.

  2. Heather's right. I often think I am "relevant" only to find I'm just marking time.

    I think the key is to regularly question what you do and who you are, looking for new ways. They may not be there, you could well be "cutting edge", but you do need to check.

  3. If we could only self-assess as well and as often as we criticize others, how great could we become?

  4. It is easier to see faults in others isn't it?
