2006: Fighting Momentum

Happy New Year everyone! I've been back for a while now actually but have been beyond busy and only now making sure I send out my best wishes to you all.

This year really stands to be a memorable one, on so many fronts. I think we're at the beginning (and possibly end) of a bubblet that was forming. I think the net result will be something much more than the money put in and not taken out. It's the changing of our lenses to something more suitable for our own needs.

I came across a post on Seth Godin's blog that really seems to set the tone for this year, at least from my eyes:

Sometimes I use this as an example when I'm at client sites. I tell them the moral of the story, too: "If you can't change the little things in your methods, you'll never change the big things. Pick something, make it better. Don't worry if it is just a little thing. If you lather, rinse, and repeat that a few times, you will have made a big difference. BUT if you wait for everyone else to change BEFORE you will, remember that everyone else is thinking the same thing, and so nobody will change anything. Don't wait for permission, or worry about doing something different, or invent reasons why you don't have authority. Somebody has to make the first move. It might as well be you. Change your world, today."

If you aren't doing anything different, how can you expect to accomplish anything different?
