Great advise and applicable to ALL. Even when things are going well it's best not to get comfortable and instead try to predict any potential obstacles and mitigate identified risks, even when the probability of occurrence is low. (The BP oil spill is a prime example. What a mess that is to clean up and one that could have easily been avoided) Thanks again for the reminder about being proactive - your advise is a good dose of reality that we all need in order to keep our businesses viable and prospering.

It takes less time, effort and pain to just avoid the problem instead of fixing it. Being proactive isn't fun, but it can save you a lot of problems, not to mention your business, in the long run.
