a new service offering? Maybe you just want to capitalize on the growing demand. Whatever your business plans are for the year, take inventory of what you have and what you’ll need to succeed. It requires more than the right equipment to fill orders. Self Awareness Likewise, I knew my optimism and a good pair of skis alone wasn’t going to get me safely down the slope. I had to accept my limits, prepare accordingly, and navigate slowly at first. Almost every executive is aware of the needs and chal- lenges for their business. Global corrugated manufactur- ers have long prepared for the year ahead. Maintenance checks have been made, ink is flowing,and brown boxes are producing a mountain of green. It’s tempting to ride the wave and not look back. However, there have been a few moguls this year already – an impending war, global supply chain disruptions, and continued fallout from over two devastating years in a pandemic.

To continue safely and profitably, repeated self-aware- ness will be critical. Is your operation the gold medal olym- pian or the market’s bunny-slope rider? Do you have the right trainers and equipment to compete? Knowing your own operational limits will help you navigate the tree line Recently, one OEM executive shared a challenge fac- ing his service techs is that some customers don’t have a true perspective of their operational limits. For example, they expect equipment to run at the listed capacity, but their upstream solutions might prevent it from happening. In other instances, equipment maintenance happens all too reactively - resulting in unplanned downtime and profit loss. We can all reach black diamond levels, it just takes the commitment and the self-awareness to know when you’re ready. Courage To Launch I wasn’t prepared for much beyond the bunny slope that day. On a board, this slope would have been a warm- up run. With new equipment strapped to my feet and for- eign terrain in front of me, the stakes were vastly different.
