The catch is not to stay in re-group mode too long…opportunity is always knocking.  Staying in re-grouping mode too long will lead to mental atrophy, which you can easily fool yourself into not believing as you are ‘learning’.  There is no better learning process than the doing process.  Don’t miss the opportunity to open the door and let opportunity in! If you wait to long it will move on.
