"Obstacles are things a person sees when he take his eyes off his goal."
E. Joseph Crossman
Businessman
Initially this sort of inspires you doesn't it? Makes you want to move ahead no matter what lays in your path. The problem is, things just aren't that simple.
Just as you will certainly crash if all you do while driving is concentrate on where you want to go, so too will you fail in business if you do not identify and attempt to neutralize the obstacles that can block your success.
With due respect to Mr. Crossman I suggest an alternative: Obstacles are things a person needs to identity and remove so they can continue on to their goal.
however there is something to be said for doggedly focusing on your dream.
ReplyDeleteYes there is.
ReplyDeleteAs with all things in life, the goal is balance.
Too much or too little focus is equally bad.
