Stranded

One of the main goals of any business is to make money. We need money to live: food, clothing, shelter, etc. Without making money, there’s no business.

But we can’t make money the entire focus of our venture.

If we only drive all the time, and never stop to take care of the engine, our car will soon stop running. The same thing applies to our business. We’ve got to slow down sometime, making sure that we maintain our engine, the thing that makes it possible for us to make that money.

If we don’t take care of our business, learning new things, patching the holes that develop, taking time to sharpen the sword, maintaining those important relationships, we’ll eventually find ourselves stranded on the side of the road.
