Today’s Message is: “Fast Paced Day!” Why Not?


“Leaders can find themselves moving at such a fast pace they forget to slow down and plan for the unplanned until it hits them square in the face. Sometimes in this faced paced environment leaders need to slow down to speed up. Slowing down allows your mind and body to catch up. Take a minute to see if you’re working effectively.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
