This week I have been attending a corporate meeting where the one thing that struck me was that they acknowledged that probably one of the greatest threats to the success of their business was their own success.
When you become successful you can become very complacent. You take for granted your actions.
If your customers love your work that is great, but don't settle for what you are doing. Learn to continue to push yourself and grow.

Trying to stay the same because the success you have today was because of the actions you took yesterday will not lead you to success tomorrow.
If you want to go somewhere in the future then you need to asses where you are and then think and plan accordingly to make changes. When you do you will most likely go backwards at first.
This is called the J Curve. The J Curve breaks down the behavior patterns we go through as we change tasks, habits or routines. There are five stages to manage internally as you cascade through the stages.
- Plateau
- Cliff
- Valley
- Ascent
- Mountain Top
It looks like this:
I only mention all this to make you aware that taking action to insure you move forward often will feel like you are making it worse.
Take the time and do some research. Plan your choices based on where you want to go.
See you at the top!

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
