The song was written in the time where the United States of America was in the middle of the Vietnam War, racial unrest, massive experimental drugs and unrest on College Campuses." What is any different from what our country, our economy, and our way of life is experiencing and going through right now? Was Bob Dylan a prophet, how did he know that in 2009, our current socioeconomic climate, political climate, economic climate, world views would be experiencing similar change. Obviously he didn't know, he was describing what he was what he observing in the 1970”s (to see the actual words of the song – just scroll down to the bottom of this article - you will be amazed). How will you describe what we are experiencing right now? We are in another stage of our development as a human race, culture, economy and business. We have the same opportunity that they did in the 1970's to shape a new era. Unfortunately, this opportunity only comes once. For better, for worse, its all up to you. And Me, and everybody else who cares about the future of this current economy. Once we miss these opportunities, the times have changed, they are gone. And then, as we all know, once done is very difficult to undo. As we repeatedly encourage our clients and readers, how we respond to this New Economy will determine the position our companies have in the future. The business opportunities are remarkable if you are looking for them. A chance to reshape your organization, streamline it for maximum efficiency and competitive advantage. Niche your business and create a Core Competency where you are the expert, the Go to Company! last week, we introduced an E-Myth review of what we must make certain we do before we commit to bringing in new employees. If you haven't got our Free Report on Hiring Stars, please click here. There are two questions you really must have answered. 1) Does this prospective position and a Star Employee in that position add value, capacity and improve the existing performance levels of our organization? 2) What is the value in terms of production? What will it take for that position to pay for itself? How long can we go in the current level before breaking down and perhaps having our client or customer impacted by that breakdown? These are really the questions we need to be able to answer. As we finish the article, find out how CFR decided to answer those questions. That is the point where an organization Built to Last brings in a new position and a STAR to fill that position. AT CFR, that means when the clients are not receiving their work back in our projected turn around time of 24 hours, we need to begin If you have any questions or want to talk to someone about whether your company is Built to Last and ready for this new economy, we encourage you to Contact CFR & Associates or visit one of the upcoming seminars. Here are the words to the Bob Dylan song we referred to above: Come gather round people wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth saving Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone For the times, they are a changing Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens And keep your eyes open, the chance won't come again And don't speak too soon, the wheel's still in spin And there's no telling who that it's naming Oh the loser will be later to win For the times, they are a changing Come senators, congressmen, please head the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be her that has stalled The battle outside ragging will soon shake your windows And rattle your hall For the times, they are a changing Come mothers and fathers all over this land And don't criticize what you can't understand Your sons and your daughter are beyond your command Your old role is rapidly aging Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand For the times they are a changing The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast The slow one will later be fast And the present now will soon be the past The order is rapidly fading The first one now will later be last For the times, they are a changing preparing our processes, our organization for another writer. That is exactly what we have done as CFR will soon be adding another writer to its team of coaches. Remember, it’s the value for the client or customer that drives the decision. All too often, we hear its based on the margin and profitability of the company. I want to encourage you to consider just the opposite. If you have one bad client/customer experience and they leave you for a competitor because you missed a deadline, what would you give to have that back? I will let you mull on that until next week. So, long for now. Get your Free Report by visiting our home page or Star Selection Page and requesting it by email. It will come in less than 24 hours.
