I’m so busy handling today, I can’t even think about tomorrow
Feb 14, 2025
A race track instructor once taught me this as I was learning to drive quickly on a road track; “The Faster You Want to Go, The Farther Ahead You Need to Look”.
The clip below shares a quick video of the message that has stayed with me for years.
In today’s podcast conversation with Adam Mogelonsky, Hotel Mogel Consulting, Partner, we talk about the future. He shares what his company does to help luxury hotels anticipate and plan for future trends. If you’re not a luxury hotel, you can still use this type of thinking for yourself and your professional position.
What’s next?
If we don’t take enough time to think ahead, we fall behind.
Are there personal experiences in which a company helped remind you to think ahead and how did it make you feel?
I was at a restaurant, and when my iced tea fell below ¼ full, they automatically brought me a fresh new glass of tea.
When my prescription was about to run out, the pharmacy sent me a text reminder to see if I needed it refilled.
Another restaurant sent me $10 as a wedding anniversary credit two weeks prior to my actual wedding anniversary, which also reminded me I better do something nice for my wife.
Adam talks about how wellness is ever evolving and is more than “filtered water and yoga mats”. Imagine if your business can provide things that will expose your customers to NEW THINGS that will help them feel better, be better, and do better? Game changer!
