Having worked for several years in medical imaging for Alzheimer's I know what the disease does to the brain. I'm all with Lya on the cost of procrastination in business: just this morning I went through my list of "homework not delivered yet" (I do business consulting for small businesses, and despite the fact that they pay me a lot of money, they still don't do their homework....) and found that despite my chasing some go back to February this year. Unfortunately, that is typical for a lot of small (one (wo)man band) businesses: too much on the plate, so all the stuff that sounds like 'work' just gets left behind. all the best Veit First of all of course sorry to hear about your mum and AD.

During the conversation, I asked her what she thought was the biggest negative in business relationships (not just for women, but in general), and without a second's hesitation, she said: "procrastination". It was her belief that routinely some 50% of potentially great business was "left on the table" because of procrastination on the part of one or both of the parties. It would not surprise me if this were true. Good reminder, Barb, and best wishes for your mother's wellbeing.
