This Week in the Copier Industry 15 Years Ago (Last Week of October 2004)
@Old Glory Posted this 15 years ago. Brian Tracy says in The Effective Manager, that "change is accelerating." I believe that, do you? What does that mean to you? You know the old saying, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always have what you always had." I don't think that is true anymore. If you always do what you've always done, you will continually have less and less. If we are not consciously getting better, we are unconsciously getting worse. In our...

My Two Favorite Email Responses When I'm Ghosted
I'm writing this and I have no clue what the name of this blog will be. I'm sure it will come to be as I can continue to tell today's short story.
