With this year almost over and 2014 just around the corner, we’ll hear a lot of folks talking about New Year’s resolutions. I never like New Year’s resolutions, personally.

That seems more like wishful thinking than accurate thinking. One of the best features of being a small business owner is that we can change direction in an instant if need be. While a big stodgy corporate business forms a focus group, hired a team of consultants and has endless meetings, you and I can create a new strategy and implement changes in hours if needed.<\/p>\n

This may very well be the year when your nimbleness and willingness to accept rapid change will be imperative to your continued survival.<\/p>\n
