We are fond of talking about learning from past mistakes. This is a great idea that we need to continue using.

What may be more dangerous, though, are our successes. In our 30 years guiding business leaders, we have met numerous leaders that feel so successful using the past as the barometer; they are very successful, at least for this moment. Their success has lulled them to sleep and into a false sense of security.

We live in a chaotic world that is constantly changing. The pace of change is increasing. The perceptions and mindsets of people all over are different, deeper and more sophisticated than ever before. New needs, wants and experiences are evolving in many different audiences. The only way to stay successful is to pay attention to what is needed now and what we expect will be desired in the future.

• How can you and your team (and your family) become more conscious of what is needed for success without being too tightly tied to the past?

• Are you learning from your success and adapting as conditions change around you?

• Have you identified the tools that will help you continue over the next 30 days to 3 years to be successful?
