And clearly, inspiration for all of us to "bloom"! Reminds me of a favorite quote, "Bloom where you are planted." That's very much like the concept behind The Obvious Expert which guides us to take the tools, knowledge, and experience we have at hand, and use it to propel our careers to the next level.

They remind me of the petals on a flower. Those petals are (more or less) focued on the center of the flower. It's at this center that the petals exchange the food and nutrients they produce for the flower. The flower in turn provides the support for the petals. In all aspects a business person (doctor, salesperson, preacher, teacher etc) need to be customer centric. The customer is at the center of all of our activity. Without the customer there is no support, or reason, for the petals to exist and likewise the center cannot exist without the petals provision. As we strive in a tightening economy (at least the present economy) the companies and business men and women who succeed will be those who have enough petals (expertise) to remain highly customer centric. All of our training, research, discovery and passion must be to the customer. And when this happens we will thrive, not just survive.
