Keep Filling Your Pipeline
Today, while I am away working on the East Coast, I got called about something I had put in for at home on the West Coast. While there is no assurance that it will work into something for me, it does point out the reality that no matter what someone tells you, all jobs are temporary. A wise man keeps that in mind.
You and I need to always be working on what is next. When the “next” thing comes along, it may not be the expected thing, but it is probably going to be something that got started because you were willing to try new things and break out of the mold.
OMBs and other SLOBs [Owner-Managed Businesses and other Small, Locally-Owned Businesses] may find their whole mission changes–as Force Protection Inc, formerly Sonic Jet Performance Inc, found out–or the owner may move into and out of external employment. It is important that SBOs [Small Business Owners] recognize this and plan for the possibility.
What you do not want is for your current project (business, employment, or whatever) to end without you having any idea about what is ahead.
