This is the time to reinvent ourselves and our businesses.
In the last month, I have been as busy as I ever have been. I am focusing deeply on the business, not in the business. I am focusing on policy, procedures, and our project management software. Before now, I’ve been so busy spending time on job sites, client meetings, and proposals that many of the fundamentals were put to the side. “I’ll get to it when I have time,” was what I told myself.

There’s a scene in the British comedy “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” where two knights fight it out with swords. In quick succession, the challenger loses limb after limb, but he’s not giving up, even with blood streaming out gratuitously. They are “mere flesh wounds.” Finally, as he hops around on one leg with no arms, he’s talking trash, urging his foe to continue fighting him, boasting about how he is going to prevail despite all logic.
