Panama Canal Expands, Should You Too?

Was reading in the Paper, that Panama officials blasted away part of a hillside on September 4 next to the Panama Canal, marking the start of the waterway’s biggest expansion project since it was opened 93 years ago. This is the start of two wider sets of lochs being added on both sides of the canal. The $6.4 Billion expansion is expected to double the 80km canal’s capacity. Although still effective and working well, the Panama Canal is no longer sufficient for the task at hand any more.

Does that sound like you? You haven’t changed. You are still working well. Still doing your job. No you haven’t changed but the circumstances around you have, making it expedient if not necessary for you to start considering some changes. Even major ones like with the Panama Canal?

Maybe expensive changes too? Maybe not $6.4 Billion, but maybe you to will have to outlay some major finance to get the improvements needed, knowing that the money will come back with the extra input?

Yes, what about you? I have just made some major changes in my life with a new job and soon a new house, all bringing extra expenses initially, but ones that will (hopefully) be recouped in the end, but even if not, decisions that needed to be made and acted upon to improve my efficiency and influence. Again what about you? Are there any areas in your life that you know that you need to improve on but the thought of change or the cost of change is putting you off? Think again please. Walter
