Many businesses are playing defense to protect themselves from the downturn in the economy. How many of you are cutting muscle and not fat? Are you being too nearsighted about where your company is positioned and not looking for opportunities to increase market share? Is your team prepared to take on the business of failed competitors? Would you be able to handle that business if the opportunity should arise? Does the condition of your balance sheet and credit lines put you in a position to "buy out" a competitor for cents on the dollar? Get out your binoculars and start looking ahead and set a goal for where you want to be once this shakes out.
