You really outlined 8 good principles, but with the pictures it really makes the point. Where you discuss rethinking your goals, and then follow up with rethinking your strategy, i believe it is this part of the feedback process where most people drop the ball, myself included. Sometimes we become so pigheaded that we think we need to muscle our way to the goal when in part we should be rethinking our strategy or even our goals for that matter. I have never been involved in any business venture that didn't move in a slightly if not completely different direction that was originally intended. Anyway kudos on a great post...

I love it! Sounds like you're in for some definite changes, too - and big ones! Mrs. MZM and I have moved over 60 times since we've been married, so I speak from experience when I say this: you'll survive! But changing locations can sometimes be quite an adventure; one I personally enjoy, for the most part. Isn’t that a great story, Amy? I love it!

As for an example - I finally sat down with my husband this morning and started to put into place some definite goals for change. For so long now we've been waiting for change to simply happen in our lives instead of proactively making it happen. We've been living in a house we've never particularly liked, in an area which doesn't really suit us, for the last 3 1/2 years now. It was only supposed to be a stop-gap and somehow we got stuck. 2008 is going to be the year we move on and begin the journey to find the house where we belong. It'll more than likely still be in and around Stirling, as in all honesty I would find it very difficult to leave my home town, but I'm quite certain it won't be in suburbia. This may seem like just one definitive change, but, in fact, it will affect everything about our lives: our everyday routine, our work, our money, our kid's education and our relationship. It's a scary change to make, but one which has to happen if we are to continue to grow. Anyway, sorry for the mammoth comment, and thanks again for your timely advice!

“Joe-Bob’s Discount House of Meat”

Just imagine the kind of entertaining story you could write about an establishment with that name, or the person who runs it! :D
