Our blog posts don’t elicit feedback from folks very often, so I’m always glad to see when my day-to-day musings make a difference for others.

There is much that I heard from my mother years ago that I likely ignored and can now look back at and acknowledge for the brilliant insight. This is definitely one of them, and it’s reassuring to know that firefighters of all people are already paying attention to this one.

BTW, I’m just starting a new project in Albert Lea (of all places!) next week. Maybe we’ll have a chance to connect again as I pass through town…

All the best!
Jeremy

This is a terrific blog! I really like your use of storytelling; the work of the firefighter gets the reader’s attention and illustrates your point well.

It is counter-intuitive to think that in many cases one goes faster by going slower. But by going slower, one ensures the chosen direction right the first time and avoids backtracking. Or, to put it in business terms, by spending more time planning, one avoids costly re-work and customer dissatisfaction.

Well done!
