Transformation is rarely instantaneous. It generally starts with one small initial change — repeated over and over. For Protection 1, small changes in every area of the company have produced remarkable transformation, resulting in a year deserving of the SDM 2012 Dealer of the Year award.
This year, for the first time, I ran a half marathon. My entire life, running a single mile has been an achievement in and of itself. I think running three miles (gasp!) may have even been a New Year’s resolution more than once, so the idea of converting myself into a runner capable of running 13.1 miles seemed, initially, a bit ridiculous. My training started with a commitment and that first step on the track. After that, I followed a training regimen that strategically built my stamina up run-by-run, step-by-step. Today I’m still running, three miles is my easy run for the week, and I have a new goal to run a marathon. It is the way most transformations begin — small.
