The distractions of either focusing on what's new or remaining in the comfort zone of what's known only serve to limit progress.

It also describes a state of distraction some refer to as “always picking up the bright shiny penny.” It’s intermingled with thoughts from your other blog entries, namely, “How does one stay focused on all the things that really matter?” It is easy to shift and move to address the thing that interests you most at that moment, but takes your eye off the ball of other things that really matter as well.

That refrain plays loudly in the hallways of nearly every company in the hi tech space. It's the rare few that understand the pipeline will eventually dry up if you don't lay the groundwork for the future, too.

Thanks.

Companies – especially technology companies – really suffer from the tyranny of or in terms of marketing mix. If I've heard one CEO say it, I've heard a dozen: We don't have time to build awareness, we need leads!

Duh.
