Charting A Course: What Sailing Taught Me About Business

When sailing, I learned to:

-Chart your course: If you do not set your waypoints carefully, you may miss your business goals.

-Learn when to tack: Be bold to maximize your return. Study the situation carefully, then make a decision with confidence.

-Know your knots: Make the most of the latest business-related hardware and software to greatly increase your office productivity.

-Watch out for storms: Don’t let problems capsize your business; deal with them quickly to remain safely in control.

-One hand for you, one hand for the boat: Take advantage of professional development opportunities that enhance personal skills.
