It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory.  ~W. Edwards Deming

“Survival is not mandatory – you can always just quit!”  -Sgt Newcomb, USAF

At the time, I was certain he’d eat my brain…skull and all; however Sgt. Newcomb had a special task, to train recruits into soldiers.  All the running, shooting, yelling, running, cleaning, drills and running is not where the magic is.  Sgt Newcomb taught me to embrace and negotiate change.  “Put it on your calendar” says David Allen. Mark it two weeks out – a change is coming, are you ready?

The work we do today at Digital Gnomes is vastly different from the work we did in 2008.  The market place demands are different as is the economy and class of workers.  Our relationships are different.  I lost touch with a lot of great people in 2007 when our jobs were outsourced; and I’ve met some outstanding folks since then.

-Just my musings as we reboot our website and begin our 4th year of business.  We…  I am fortunate, I am honored to be here  standing on the shoulders of Giants.

Happy 2011 – are you ready?
