Happy New Year! WAIT! What about the year that just ended?
What about the year that just ended?
The unrealistic optimists are so excited about the changing calendar.
It's great to cheer in the new year but keep sight of the past year's challenges and remember to update last year's optimism with the realities of the outcomes.
I get it! Optimism is necessary. However, unrealistic optimism can quickly overtake one's realities regarding preparation, management, and accountability for the journey forward.
When looking towards the future, never fall into the trap of unbridled optimism. Unbridled optimism will perpetuate fantasy and unaccountability.
"Unaccountability is the deathtrap to accomplishment."
As you navigate through the new year, remember, along the journey, you will see an oasis of unrealistic optimism ahead.
So, those on any journey must check-in with reality along the way. Otherwise, the journey might end in the middle of the desert, far short of the unreached oasis.
No goal comes true without deconstructing the obstacles before the goal's achievement. It is only through the pain in deconstructing these obstacles which brings victory to the goal.
In this deconstruction process, only those who navigate through an optimism based on reality will have the discipline to guide the wrecking ball toward these obstacles.
In all needed modifications, avoiding the unrealistic, unchallenging, unaccountable, and unknowing is critical.
Don't procrastinate improvement by hiding behind unrealistic optimism while foolishly hoping everything works out!
"Hope without details is a goal defined by an unrealistic optimist!"
In closing: Remember, "when facing most reality, you will be staring at the signs leading to change."

The End Of The Day With Ray! Thoughts Regarding DXone and NOETICS ERPs - Is It A FORZA Deja Vu?
I wanted to share some thoughts to inspire our industry's actors especially the media to ask more questions. The absolute miscalculation (FAILURE) In MWA Intelligence FORZA ERP not succeeding in replacing eAutomate the industry’s leading ERP should give grounds to do more research. As we see new excited entrepreneurs who think they can do what MWA Intelligence failed at. I also believe that the industry’s analysts and media should be extremely inquisitive in understanding all the realities regarding any new attempts by these entrepreneurs. I see the industry’s media actors repeating the same approach as they had with MWA Intelligence and that approach did not prepare the dealers for the eventually out come.
