The Last Few Inches

Way, way, way back in 2002, I started this website as a means for agents here in town to find some follow-up information/inspiration/infotainment after attending my seminars. When I reflect back on the last 5 years, it's really been amazing to witness the advancement in the way in which we communicate...with each other, and with those who drive our businesses.

Technology has afforded us the luxury to experience efficiencies and connectedness like never before. The paradox is that communication has gotten easier as we move forward in time, yet ironically less personal. My focus over the past several months has been on the examination of this communicative experience that we share. How do we create a personal experience while remaining efficient 21st century business machines? If there is an answer to that question, I hope to figure it out, because that is the real 'secret sauce' to this and any business.

It will be the details that matter. It will be the last few inches.

And in case you wake up tomorrow lacking the creative inspiration to move your life at the pace and trajectory you'd hoped for, do what I do. Watch this 4 1/2 minute video from one of my favorite movies.

And let me know if you need some help adding up those last few inches.
