There are definite times when running your business will be the fastest sprint you could ever imagine.  Going fast can be advantageous.  Going fast can keep your competition far from you and keep you ahead of the pack as you set the new standard and stage for your business and industry.  Keeping your business nimble and agile is a huge advantage.  It is a huge plus to be able to change your business today based upon your customer needs.  It is important to keep asking yourself how you can remain agile and flexible to avoid competitors from sneaking up and taking you out.
