I have called it SCRATCH


In an attempt to be more connected and sharing with you I am going to start giving this out monthly as a way of communication from me and our teams.

We will organize it into 4 categories. Life skills, business tips, personal tips, and what is happening. I have wanted to do this for a while; I just didn’t know what median to do it in. So here it is….a work in progress.

I have called it SCRATCH. Why…..well because I feel like I have scratched and clawed in my life to get ahead. Im sure you have felt the same way. So this isn’t a bragging session, but it’s a way for our teams to share what we have seen that has worked successfully and those failures that it has taken to move us forward. God blesses us with failures and mistakes so that we can make ourselves and others around us better. We value failure more than success as long as we learn and apply the lesson it teaches. Another reason “SCRATCH” is because we have started everything from SCRATCH. Each business we have endeavored in has been from the ground up (FROM SCRATCH) except for those that we have purchased……and even those, without the people in those businesses they would not work.

So lets begin:

Life Skills: Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, Friends, Fun, Following, Freedom; we call these the 8F’s in life. Many of these categories can tell one where their priorities are in life by measuring the time one would spend in one of the above categories. This month, let’s talk about Faith. I’ve always been told to know why you believe what you believe. I would recommend for you to do the same. You don’t have to follow my lead, but I would ask you to determine for yourself the following questions:
·         Why am I here on this earth?
·         What does moral law mean to me?
·         Is there good and evil and how do I know the difference?
·         What happens to when one dies?
·         Why do bad things happen to “good” people?
These are some of the questions that I wanted answered for myself. I pray you will find the answers in your study and with your family.

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...
