The scary and the scared!
During disruptions, the scary side is better than the scared side.
Any industry going through a disruption based on evolutionary changes. Must accept that its journey to maintain relevance will be a scary road.
However, the traveler has two choices. They can choose to be stuck in the status quo, too scared to fight, or they can choose to scare others by facing and addressing the realities for needed change.
The status quo can only fight its shadows; they don’t have the muster to fight reality. But, unfortunately, their shadows will fade as the lights go out on all they held sacred, and the status quo will find themselves congregated in the darkness of complacency.
Being scared is not an excuse to coil into complacency. Instead, one should pull energy from what scares them and use that energy to become what scares the complacent.
In reality, those seeking progress will always scare those wishing to remain in the comfort of complacency. But, sadly, those fighting to remain comfortable often fool themselves that what’s comfortable is also relevant.
Remember, being scared is only the first step toward the unknown. Those who can look into what they fear will quickly discover that fear can be defeated. However, remember, during the battle to conquer fear, you will scare the hell out of those remaining status quo.
So, now go scare the complacent by turning off the light, confusing them as they fight their shadows.
Happy Halloween!

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.
