Its funny how people tend to gloss over this.

I've got a number of clients that are struggling to adapt their businesses right now.

People who fancied themselves as top-notch business people all of a sudden coming to the realization that what they built for themselves has more to do with the enormous energy boom and less to do with their skills. Especially in construction.
