business need not run.

-Abraham Lincoln
Without a strategy, a company is like a ship without a rudder, going around in circles. It’s like a tramp; it has no place to go.

No business can do everything. Even if it has the money, it will never have enough good people. It has to set priorities. The worse thing to do is a little bit of everything. This makes sure that nothing is being accomplished. It is better to pick the wrong

-Peter Drucker
