Squeezing out the last bit.

In working with one client, when it came time to deliver on an urgent situation, some of the Streams weren’t able to provide sufficient people resources, because their people were “busy trying to achieve their quarterly milestones.” They had squeezed all their resources out. Now, I understand the importance of long-term research, and of meeting goals. But it dawned on me that this is why investors like Warren Buffett hold back a sizeable amount -- perhaps roughly 25% -- of their resources in cash. If a great opportunity arises, Berkshire Hathaway can pull the trigger immediately, thus securing some amazing deals.

However, if you set lofty quarterly or annual goals, and you are absolutely intent on achieving them, then you won’t be able to pounce when the time is right. You’re trying to squeeze every drop of toothpaste out of the tube! How much to hold back? There’s a good answer to that! If www.kpco.us can help, please connect.
