Despite my best efforts to remain a casual jogger, I find myself getting up earlier and earlier, running further and further. I have now become … dare I say it … “a runner.” And I’m a regular on the “race circuit.”
I’ve learned an invaluable lesson on the circuit, one that even businesses can apply. I quickly learned that my early childhood teachers weren’t being entirely forthcoming when they shared Aesop’s fable of The Tortoise and the Hare.
We all know the fable, right? During the race, the Hare becomes complacent; stops off for a nap and some nourishment, maybe another nap; then is beaten by the “slow and steady Tortoise.” Well, there must be more to the story…
Have you ever tried to win a race running slowly and steadily? It doesn’t work. You have to imagine that during the next race, the Hare learned his lesson and wasn’t complacent again. In the next race, he went faster the WHOLE time and he beat the Tortoise. Now imagine that Hare is a big hulking beast of a rabbit. He can run fast -- even with a load on his back. But what if there are spectators along the course who are not fans of the Hare and attack him the whole time? Well now the Hare can pick up the Tortoise (shell & all) and carry him on his back.
Fast… strong… secure… THAT is how you win the race every time.
Is your MFT solution fast, strong and secure enough to beat your competition?
Now you know THE REST of the story.
