His full name is Dominique Le Fort, but the world knows him simply as 'Dominique The Cat Man'.

Each day as the sun sets over the docks of Key West, Dominique's trained cats leap through flaming hoops, eliciting ooohs and aaahs from the audience.

But sometimes the cats - common house cats - do absolutely nothing at all. They just can't be bothered with jumping through the hoops of fire.

As 'The Cat Man' can attest, the more cats you have and the more hoops they have to jump through, the less likely things will go as planned.

The same is true with your business projects. The more hoops you have to jump through, the less likely things will work out the way you want.

To increase the chances of success of any project, eliminate any hoops you and your customers have to jump through.
