Technology can be both an opportunity and a threat. On one hand, it’s a threat because a new technology can kill a great company or even an entire industry, regardless of how big a player in the industry an organization is.

Success is a process, not an event!
It’s easy to look at someone who’s successful at just about anything and be more than a little envious. This is because really, really successful people make it look easy.
