I'm glad this resonated with you. It's not necessarily a difficult concept, but it doesn't always hit people the same way.

And I appreciate the 'real' way you convey it. Michael Gerber mentions a lot of the same topics in his book, E-Myth Revisited, which I read several months ago. The funny way that he talks about working "on" your business, rather than "in" it is to look at it this way: understanding the fact that each year your business continues, someone is going to "buy" it. The question is: Who? Is it going to be you? OR someone else? Either way, take the step back and look at your business from the big-picture standpoint and look down the road (like you said) 5, 10, or 20 years, see what you want then, AND THEN come back to NOW and make happen what NEEDS to happen, to get that result. Oh yea, and I love the chess analogy...what a great way to relate to the way many people lead their lives and/or businesses (i.e. re-active) rather than pro-active . Thanks!
