For the third year in a row, my book count is trending in the wrong direction. In 2009, it was 38. In 2010, it was 33. In 2011, that number fell to 29 and this past year, that number plummeted to 21. Not only do I think reading is important, but it’s also something I enjoy a bunch and probably the closest thing I have to a hobby. However this year the reality is that I just didn’t set aside much time for it.

I wrote previously that "if one is to compete, one has no choice but to rely on auxiliaries or mercenaries" when you have to respond quickly to a competitive threat. Before looking further at engaging auxiliaries, it's worth considering the "if one is to compete" statement. As unattractive as it may sound, a firm can opt out of competition. Sometimes, the most compelling business option is to run the business for cash.
