to create a business whose economics makes it, as Gary Keller says, “worth owning.” We know that in this new world everyone on the team is going to be accountable. We are tired of prima donnas. We know all of these things because we have learned them the hard way. The fact is that there is very little we don’t know about what success will look like moving forward. So what is the problem? Why are thousands of brokers clinging to a ship that can’t float? Once again Seth Godin steps in with the answer. In fact the solution is so simple it would not be appropriate to let it out during the ten minutes it will take you to read this column. No, a little effort is required here. • Step one: Get the book, it is The Dip by Seth Godin. • Step two: Instead of losing yourself on a golf course next week take a beautiful afternoon to sit under a spring fresh tree and read the book. It is only 80 pages so how long can that take? Bring a pad and pen along so you can start making a Dip List. • Step three: Go back to the office and announce you are quitting the Cul de Sac. Let everyone know that you are now in the reconfiguration business. Those who wish to continue to the dead-end can send you a post card. Be on your way soon, there is no time to waste.
