Mike, I love this post. It reaches right to the core of what motivates me and inspires me at this point in my own life.

Particularly, these words ring loudly.
"Companies can choose to be distinct or they can choose to copy someone else ....  Success often went to those who chose to pursue their own path with clarity, creativity, communcation, ultimate customer focus.  It seems easier to do what others are doing.  ... "

Thank you for speaking such wise words on a Friday afternoon -- and at the beginning of yet another month.

My best to you,
Joanne
