Too True, Felicity ...

Yes, successful small businesses are run by master jugglers -- people who can keep several balls going at once. It's the only way small businesses can succeed.
My recommendation to all businesses is to learn how to schedule and (I believe) the smaller the business the more crucial scheduling is. Just an hour a week of business planning can go a long way towards success.

This is a good reminder for taking the long view. Most small businesses, especially small ones, often don't have time to take the long view because they have to hustle to keep immediate projects in front of them.

Thanks, David ...

Your follow-up at http://aneconomyofmeaning.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/breaking-norms-is-hard-to-do/ is duly noted and a worthy read (note to others: David and I are fellows in the above mentioned think-tank).

Quite correct, Dr. Lent ...

First, thanks for reading and commenting. I agree completely with your thoughts re getting organizations on the couch. I think of it as a form of inertia -- once a business is moving in a certain direction there's too much personality, ego, internal politics, ..., to get them to change course even when they've realized their course will cause them harm . It's quite sad.
Again, it's a matter of best practices. Especially in the US. Even think that you've made a mistake and the lawyers start drooling...
