Movies that make you think

The better half and I had a rousing Saturday night (I actually loved every minute of it!) of eating pizza and watching Steep - a ski movie that tries to explore the heart and soul of extreme skiing and the people who made it what it is. I'm a wanna-be ski rat who is only just now coming to the realization that extreme skiing is not in my future. Course right now I'm actually debating whether any skiing outside of xcountry is really in my future since ski boots would top out right where the "BIG" break in my leg occured - that's right, there was more than one break - and the thought of substantial pressure at that spot makes my stomach do flipflops. Besides, at $80+ for a lift ticket it's too expensive to go out and not enjoy yourself.

But I digress. Steep made me think about a few things in relation to my business. At one point in the movie some of the extreme skiers talk about setting goals and achieving them and pushing the boundries in life. And that's what made me think. Sometimes the actual business of running the business takes me away from those two things. What are my goals for the company (and as a subset, for me as an individual building and leading the company), and how are we pushing the boundaries with regards to new products we're developing, customer service, etc. Things to think about.
