100 years ago, one of the largest employers in America was the U.S. Ice Trust which cut, stored and delivered ice for people's "iceboxes". That industry doesn't employ many people now, although it's not because people have forsaken the need to cool fresh food. Rather, a product born of new technology -- the refrigerator -- entered American homes and eliminated the need for ice cutters.
All too often, we hear people say they're waiting on their ship to come in. Normally it applies to people who feel they've done their due diligence and are awaiting the fruits of their labor. But the market changes swiftly. And just because you've made plans doesn't guarantee its arrival.
While it's wise to recognize failure early, it's even wiser to take progressive steps where available to reach your goal before the game changes. Remember: the only thing we can predict with certainty is change.
