The upcoming resolution comes from learning things the hard way.  It’s easy to look at things in hindsight and wonder why things are not done differently.  But sometimes, it’s only when something is done “wrong” during the journey, that you discover what’s right.

The important theme in business is not to repeat the same mistake, no matter how important they were at the time to help us grow.  The challenge is whether we act on the new found knowledge and make the change.

Saying “no” to certain scale project meant facing up much needed time.  To create the space for change we need to recognize the priorities and not doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  Even though some projects maybe the bread and butter of the business, we need to be selective, discipline and boundaries to be able to set proper time aside to grow.
