Bingo. It's also the feeling. If you feel rushed and that "we don't have a choice" you're in fire fighting mode. Reality is what it is. You can take a relaxed, calculated look at difficult reality and ask "How can I turn this into what I really want?" Or you can take a frantic, paniced look at the same reality and yell "Quick! More buckets!" The Alchemist Entrepreneur calmly <em>creates </em>where the Average Entrepreneur frantically puts out fires. Dov Hi Miriam,

Bingo. It’s also the feeling. If you feel rushed and that “we don’t have a choice” you’re in fire fighting mode.

I actually had to Wiki Warren Buffet (not my field!). But an excellent point, and a common problem. The case of adequately training people in a crisis situation rings particularly true - but the unfortunate truth is sometimes you truly don't have a choice. Yes, you should plan accordingly, but things happen. But perhaps the lesson here is to expedite and clarify the essentials of their training, rather than rush through it hurriedly. Great article.

I think not being in a rush is important. It's one of the keys to being an artist in your business and hence helps you to be content with your business. I liked it.
