Many of us stepped back from the precipice and stand yet frozen in place surrounded by darkness and uncertainty. Many a business leader dare not take a step for fear of plunging into a bottomless pit. Some ask, are we safe yet? Is there more bad news to come?

We want him choosing us.” “But it was his fault!” I retorted. “Why should we bear the cost to fix it?” My dad responded in a rumbling voice which sounded like God himself thundering from the mountain top, “Do you want to be right? Or, do you want to be rich?” That did it for me.

Unless your personal income is in excess of $20 million a year, it would be your most profitable use of those two and half hours. Wouldn’t it? In fact, you’d have to be crazy not to invest the time.
