Gary’s comments on the wisdom of taking timely corrective action in a slow economy to keep one’s company solvent parallel Proverbs 27:23-27 in the Bible. The author of this proverb lived in a sinful, and hence shifting, world that threatened even the most successful business ( odds-on a farm in that agrarian society) with rapid decline and failure. The writer therefore warns that the wise farmer will know the condition of their livestock in order that they can correct any threats to their prosperity before it’s too late. Those diligent to follow this counsel could as a general rule expect to continue fulfilling their responsibility to support their family and to provide jobs for their workers. Gary notes that this same principle applies to a business owner in today’s sinful, shifting world. It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Jim, Thanks for your insight that you have shared on this subject. You have given a great example of the timeless truth of these lessons. Our goal is to share lessons that apply that are globally true and timeless. Like the law of gravity has not changed since the day of creation, this law of “staying focused” is still true. Blessings, Gary
