Many of us have heard the old expression, “If you do what you have always done. You are going to get what you have always gotten. If you aren’t happy with what you are getting, then stop doing what you have been doing!” And while to some extent that remains true, you must put yourself in a position to understand that your business doesn’t live in a vacuum. Outside forces are always in motion.

For more than forty years I remembered the single most important advice I ever received about generating opportunities; the words ring true to this day and likely well into the future: “You don’t have enough business because you don’t speak to enough people; if you aren’t getting the business you want, go out and talk to more people until you do!”
