How to manage risk (but don’t stifle innovation)

The same principle applies to any sized business. Every business wants to make the right investment decision and increase the likelihood of the business of delivering what is expected.

Actions and Attitudes and Fiscal Fitness
| |
| Henry Ford once asked one of his young automotive engineers, "What is your life ambition?" The young man said, "I want to become very rich." A couple of days later, Ford approached the engineer and instructed him to put on a pair of glasses, which instead of having glass lenses had silver dollars in the frame. Then he asked the engineer, "What do you see?" "Nothing," the guy replied.
Having made his point, the auto giant said, "Then maybe you should rethink that ambition of yours." The man had money right in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see it. |

The Value of True Friendships
| |
| Everyone wants, and needs, friends-especially close friends. You can never say that you truly just want to be left alone, that you don't want or need to have any close friends. It's a Core Desire for human beings to interact with others-to like and be liked, to love and be loved. Close friends permit you to open up and have fun. They like and accept all the things that make you you-the good, the bad, and the ugly. True friendship allows you to feel safe with another person, to be accepted by others-in spite of the things you do wrong and in spite of your idiosyncrasies. |

Establishing and Maintaining Good Customer Relations
| |
| All structures are built upon a foundation. Truly successful engineers build their practices upon a foundation of strong customer relationships. As with every other purchase decision, individuals prefer to do business with people they like, with people who seem genuinely interested in them and with people who really care about their concerns. The business of starting and nurturing a relationship starts with the initial interview and continues throughout the firm's representation. It is critical to the long term success of the engineer/customer relationship that the engineer ongoingly stay in communication with the customer and keep them informed about the progress of their matter. |

Keeping in Touch: How to Avoid Return to Sender
| |
| I've always been a big postcard sender and this vacation was no exception! Watching me write the cards, one of the friends with whom I was traveling, a woman in her 80's, mentioned how sad it is that she's lost contact with many of her friends over the past several years. She said she doesn't know if her friends are sick, have passed away, or moved, and she doesn't know how to find out. |

It's OK to enjoy their company but we need to get a life...balanced outside of work. And when was the last time you spent time with any of your friends?
When I did this exercise I realized how isolated I had become. With travel and work, school and sports events, one day lead to another. I had talked with but hadn't seen some of my dear friends in over a year!
