Turbo Charging

Sometimes I get caught behind other cars waiting to overtake a tractor. It can be a few miles before an overtaking opportunity appears but when it does some drivers slow down so much they disengage from the thought of making progress at normal speed.

Somehow it is strangely reminiscent of when I left school and briefly worked in the County Court. I  saw people who lost their jobs, homes, possessions and even their marriages - seeing that can leave you extremely fearful when the road ahead is uncertain.

Lately, I’ve noticed business passengers changing. They are no longer pessimistic or strained but instead focused on opportunities and growth. They are developing plans and are excited about increasing market share.

Just like the road straightening in front of the tractor. I believe there is a change happening. You have to ask if now is the time to change gear, hit the throttle and go for it. Or maybe you should risk the security of being left behind?
