Just yesterday I was participating in a sales meeting and we were talking about what our business was going to look like in five years. It was a great discussion and considering the fact that we had about a dozen different people in the room it was interesting to note that we had about a dozen different "visions" of the future.
In an effort to gather some perspective about things we began the session with a ten point quiz about the way things were five years ago in October of 2004. Did I say that this was only five years ago and there were ten questions?
I should point out right at the beginning here that I only answered two questions correctly. I got eight answers wrong and I wasn't even close on five of those answers. To make matters even worse I will embarrass myself even further by stating that I though some of the events listed took place within the last two to three years....certainly not five years ago!
Where on earth does the time go?
Yes, I realize that we are all busy, even with all the newest and latest technology at our fingertips and I will use that as part of my excuse. The sad reality is that I think that I could take a quiz with ten questions about what happened last week and I might not fare any better.
I love blogging. I really enjoy talking about some of our daily challenges, not only in business but in regular life as well. Actually I find it therapeutic to write and vent at times. Today I find myself wondering how time can pass by so fast. I have so many more things that I want to do but not enough time. I understand setting priorities but my list appears to be too long at times.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
