The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit.

Some are there on the fence so long they become almost impossible to live with. Fence sitters are miserable people, not quite on one side or another, never quite sure which way they are going to go.
If you are on the fence today just think about how much better your hiney (albeit the hiney of your mind) will feel when you finally get off the fence.
