Destination, or target-focus, presents another of the big challenges facing entrepreneurs. Few successful entrepreneurs end up doing exactly what they set out to do. The importance of paying attention to the road signs and making mid-course corrections will be the subject of a future post. Thanks for the comment and the thought.

Maybe they even hoisted themselves on their own petard?
