Looking Back to Look at Now

As economic developers, we have a responsibility to be as fully present as possible in the work we do. Each of us has ideas about the future. Each of us has a history. It always has been and it always will be about "now." Capitalize on the power of now!

The past week or so has allowed me to explore the history of various companies, industries, and communities. I give thanks for each and the "goodness" they represented and "presented" to the world.

In the weeks ahead, I will continue to look back, look at the now, and maybe even look ahead some.

Allow life's mysteries to lead you in your work as you endeavor to "breathe new life into your local economy."
