Guns, Garage sales, and Goodies

Make no mistake, I have no lack of interest in firearms. I enjoy all of their possibilities. Where I live, its not unheard of to have a "shooting" get together. I look forward to these not only to support the constitutional right, but to also responsibility represent a choice of protection and procurement of food. It makes no difference to me what your thoughts on guns are, but it does make a difference to others.

Sometime this month is the big yard sale, its a time to get the house cleaned out for all the junk. My wife calls it the purge. A systematic selling of everything that we haven't touched in 6 months. I find it interesting as the process begins, how attached we become to things that we don't use. It makes no sense to keep or store many of the things that weigh us down in our lives.

On another note, my wife started a process called once-a-month cooking. Yes it does save us time. No the meals don't taste like cardboard. No you won't find me in an apron either. The plan is to cook one time a month including preparation for meals that we can eat throughout the month. It has worked so far. It saves my wife loads of time as she has been a full cafeteria for our home for quite some time. It was time to give her back time through the efficiency of new ideas. This one has tremendous promise.

How do I tie these together? You don't want to be around when they start, there is always a mess at the end, and in the end they all have tremendous worth to those who do and use them right.

  Business Tips : TRACTION (EOS – Entrepreneurial Operating System) Our management is implementing a new system called “Traction”. It will provide direction over the next year through a wonderful system. We look forward to sharing it with you here. We hope you will take the journey with us. ~Telling the Story~ Some time ago, a friend of mine and his wife visited a major Maui tourist attraction called The Road to Hana. It comprised a long and winding road that, over the course of hours, took them through breathtaking scenery, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, and beaches. At the end, there was nothing but the small town of Hana, with one gas station. When they finally arrived, my friend’s wife was very upset. She said, “We drove all of this way for this?” She missed the point. The Road to Hana is about the journey, not the destination. Don’t make the same mistake with The EOS Process. The journey of building a great business is not about the destination at all. Of course, you...

Business Tips : TRACTION (EOS – Entrepreneurial Operating System) Our management is implementing a new system called “Traction”. It will provide direction over the next year through a wonderful system. We look forward to sharing it with you here. We hope you will take the journey with us. ~Traction~ The vision is clear, the right people are in the right seats, data is managed, you’re solving issues, you have defined your way of doing business and everyone is following it. Creating accountability, discipline and execution is where most weakness reveals itself. Traction is the ability to take a visionaries head out of the clouds and place it into clear action. Many are held back for the fear of creating discomfort, but with each hard step towards systematic success, things become straightforward even with contingencies and the tremendous peace of traction. From no accountability, poor communication, stagnation, chaos you will find just the opposite with traction. Accountability...
