REALITY BITES

You might have heard 'business is a contact sport.'

No amount of preparation will be enough once you get punched in the face.

Then the rest is up to your training, background, experience, insight, prior knowledge, and correct assessment of the situation. 

Using common sense, learning on the fly, being adaptive, flexible, and creative will get you through some of the business challenges that are out there.

When you know that things that are coming and did not prepare, you deserve a kick in the butt.

But some things come from nowhere and will leave you totally unprepared. These types of scenario are the ones that no amount of preparation will be sufficient.

Take heed, learn everything you need to learn, and take counsel from those that have been there and been successful, not the armchair advisors. To mitigate the risks and weather the storm,  your present response matters a lot.
