It’s the Culture, Stupid!
What separates the marketplace heroes in every industry from the has-beens and wanna-bes?
It can’t be just products, services, or price. Your competitors don’t hire all geniuses and leave you with the dunces. Their computer systems, compensation, and operational processes are not dramatically better than yours.

Milestones & Goals
Seventeen days can make a tremendous difference.
The date was May 25, 2011. The Dallas Mavericks became the National Basketball Association’s Western Conference Champions for only the second time in its thirty-one year history.
