I agree, it's perfectly Ok to move the fencepost...for a reason. Life, events, change and so must the individual. However, for others in the audience, its worth reminding that changing the fencepost too often puts you back in the field as if there were no fencepost to begin with. Cheers, JT... Hello Mark,

Thank you for your comment. I agree, it’s perfectly Ok to move the fencepost…for a reason. Life, events, change and so must the individual. However, for others in the audience, its worth reminding that changing the fencepost too often puts you back in the field as if there were no fencepost to begin with.
Cheers,
JT…

Personally, I suspect this saying, or the idea of it anyway, goes back to the very beginnings of military history. But, it is equally applicable to business and personal life. If you have no plan, you cannot adjust. I like the fencpost analogy. It is, however, important to remember that changing the fencepost your are heading for is OK...if you are adjusting an existing plan. Cheers!
