For the want of a nail

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

“For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost.

For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost.

For the want of a horse, the rider was lost.

For the want of a rider, the message was lost.

For the want of a message, the battle was lost.

For the want of a battle, the war was lost.

For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost.

And all for the want of a nail.” -13th century proverb.

(Those are also lyrics to a great song by Todd Rundgren.  Check it out.)

What is the nail in your business? 

Listening?  Training?  Caring?  Asking?  Humility?  Marketing?  Your Brand?

WOW! For some reason, This hit me harder than any other Think Daily ever! I know why after sitting at my desk thinking about it. Sometimes you just can’t see what’s right in your face until you open your eyes a little wider.
