Drucker

Peter Drucker (reading one of his many books last night) says business energy is like any other energy. It starts with a bang and then dissipates.

When you start a business it’s all about opportunities. When it dissipates it’s all about problem solving.

But problem solving does nothing to create new opportunities, which is the 10% of your work that creates 90% of your profits. Problem solving is 90% of the work in a dissipated system, yielding only 10% of the benefit.

So why not define the stuff that comes across your desk each day as either an opportunity or a problem solving issue? Then sink your time into the opportunities. Every day.
