For instance, many of us have not stopped for a moment along the way to ask ourselves, "Where is my business headed?" or "How does my best-laid business plan compare with reality?" One could safely assume that all of our distractions have kept us from looking into the future of our businesses and corresponding industry to strategize what’s on the horizon. What will 2009, 2010 and even 2015 look like, and how will the experience of the future impact what I’m doing today?
