Once upon a time, thousands of years ago, ancient peoples began the practice of making annual promises to the gods, or perhaps their king or queen about loyalty to the throne.  That practice has endured to this day.  

We have all made them: more exercise, weight loss, a focus on spirituality perhaps.  From experience, we probably all know that by the summer, if not by the spring, that those resolutions fall by the wayside.  In fact, almost 80% of such resolutions fail by February. 

QUESTION: What does this teach us as business owners and entrepreneurs?
