Personal Tips:
GIFT OF LOVE - Happy Valentine’s Day.
Very recently, Reverend Billy Graham passed. One of my favorite quotes from him was “It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge, and my job to love.”
We have lost a great leader in Mr. Graham. I only hope that we will continue his legacy of passion and purpose in our own lives.
“…I learned that loving money leads to a hollow, empty existence. But when you learn how to love people and use money, everything is in its proper perspective...When we truly love others, our love makes each of us a different person, and it makes each one we love a different person too.”
This is the ultimate gift to care for others more than you care for yourself and to live for others more than you live for yourself.
The Gift of Love: Love is a treasure for which we can never pay. The only way we keep it is to give it away.
“Anything good, honorable, and desirable in life is based on love. Anything bad or evil is simply life without the love involved.” ― Jim Stovall, The Ultimate Gift

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. I know I don’t have it all figured out, but I have a lot of great sources that speak into these items and I welcome your comments. Please feel free to drop us a line concerning any of them.
This year Google says the top issues that face the world are…. SURVEY SAYS….
Relational Issues; Money; Health issues; Anxiety over finding or losing loved ones; Religious questions; Concerns about death
Health Issues Check it out in Chapter 2 of The Magic of Thinking Big by Dr. David J. Schwartz, Ph.D.
In the book that I have read over and over for the last 10 years it references: How to Lick Health Excusitis
1.      Refuse to talk about your health – talking about health is like putting fertilizer on weeds
2.      Refuse to WORRY about your health. That doesn’t mean to not attend to it, but don’t let it defeat you.
3.      Be genuinely grateful that your health is as good as it is. “I felt sorry for myself because I had ragged shoes until I met a man who had not feet.”
4.      Remind yourself often, “It’s better to wear out than rust out.” Life is yours to enjoy. Don’t waste it. Don’t pass up living by thinking yourself into a hospital bed. The movie Pollyanna was a great example of someone thinking themselves into being sick and Pollyanna woke her up with her approach to life.

Notable quotes: They are italicized above.
Something I want you to know:
      I know it’s been nasty weather. With nasty weather often come bad moods and dreary hearts. Try to find a way to be a light of positivity to other people around you. Give others a reason to want to work with you and do things for you. I think you will find it pays dividends.

  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...
