To the degree that you don ’ t know those things , your business will not do as well , or worse yet , fail .
If you are stuck ; if your sales are down ; if your company is not generating the business that it needs to , take a look at you . If you keep repeating the same patterns over and over and the results aren ’ t changing , take a look at you . It ’ s not what you know about your life and business that is running it .
