It’s been a crazy year. At the start, it was supposed to be a very hot year. And we did have some very hot days over 100, but many that were on the pleasant side. And rain off and on through the summer. As a result, I’m staring at a bunch of green peppers I hope will ripen by the end of the growing season. We lose 90 minutes of sun through the month of October and after the 17th the temperatures have been below 70. So, it is a matter of tweaking and repositioning to make the best of the time left.
The same happens in business. You start the year with a plan and the conditions turn out to be different than expected. The key is to have a plan on what to do when things don’t go the way you expect. At the end of the day, customers still expect results. And that plan B is what will get you there.
