In Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol” it took visits from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future to get Ebenezer Scrooge to change his ways. This is the time of year where we all go through a little of that as individuals and as businesses.

You can buy hours and hours of labor from any number of sources and, by and large, they will do a good job of providing a body.
