Reflections

It is a beautiful fall day and as I look out the window the lake is still and the hills and trees are perfectly reflected in the water. Meanwhile in the real world, the financial markets are in turmoil, energy prices are an unknown, the election outcome weighs heavily and the internet continues to change at an unbelievable pace.

The last couple of days, I have become convinced that we are in for a long, slow year. Next year at this time, the lake will most likely look very much the same, but the real world should look much more certain. To that end, I suggest that we all rethink our current positions and activities in an effort to increase our productivity. What can be done to maximize our output and minimize our expenses?

Any steps you can take now to improve your productivity should produce gains when our economy finally stabilizes and once again moves upward.
