I was in Jakarta during the bombings last week.
Restaurants and Malls emptied.
Yet, crazy returned to calm quickly.
Kids went to school the next day.
A day later, I went to a wedding (hence the balloon).
Normal is nice ... and nice is normal!
It serves as a reminder that time is the most precious resource we have.
Use it wisely.
This was an interesting week. It started with a quick trip to Washington, DC to visit my older son and his fiancé. For dinner, I thought they were taking me to the "Tipped Cow" (which sounded good). Instead, we went to a Laotian restaurant (called "Thip Khao") which serves lots of vegetables and mixes their colors.
In addition, I had hand surgery. While not pleasant, it should result in my ability to hold things - and to use my hand again (which I consider favorable).
Finally, I went to Auburn, Alabama for my younger son's college graduation. I am very proud of him. His grades got continually better, the longer he was there ... and he's been there a long time.
Graduation marks the end of one level in the beginning of a new level. In this case, there is a ceremony with caps and gowns, a procession, and everyone knows what it means.
In business, graduations take many forms. It could be a promotion, a product release, or the launch of a fund.
In any case, the strategies and skills that got you to this point only represent the strategies and skills they got you to this point. It often takes a different set of strategies or skills to excel at what comes next.
In that vein, We just finished our annual planning session for 2016.
Onwards.

Here is a quote I've thought about several times.
The guy who said that was Wayne Dyer. Unfortunately, he just passed away.
To celebrate his life and work, his publisher made some of his content free to watch, including his film, "The Shif".

DR. WAYNE W. DYER Dr. Wayne W. Dyer was an internationally renowned author, speaker, and pioneer in the field of self-development. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books (21 of which became New York Times best-sellers), created numerous audio programs and videos, and appeared on thousands of television and radio shows.
Wayne held a doctorate in educational counseling from Wayne State University, was an associate professor at St. John’s University in New York, and honored a lifetime commitment to learning and finding the Higher Self. Website: www.DrWayneDyer.com

The game is changing. That means what you have to do to win is changing too.
Take a look at this.
One of the most important phrases I’ve learned to use in business is “… or something better."
Too many times, we have a specific idea of what we want - and how we want it. Unfortunately, that focus can cause us to miss other (often better) opportunities.
The same is true for people in the roles they play and the things they do. Too often, we fall into a rut and focus on the activities and efforts that we've planned (or have always done), instead of what's possible or preferable.
One of the values that I stress here at Capitalogix is that the best way to grow the business is to grow the people. That sounds strange because so much of our business is based on technology. But the point is to continue to automate, delegate, or outsource things that we used to do … so that we can do something better.
Something to think about!
