DECEMBER 2017

Business Tips:
·         Year-end goals - Get a piece of paper and write down the top 5 things you would like to see done or happen in your family’s life for 2018. Involve the spouse, significant other, and kids. Make it fun. Set some fun rewards if you hit a midterm goal. Then do it for the next 5 years. Review them monthly and then annually.
·         Game planning and action steps – Take those top 5 things and think of how you can accomplish them. If you don’t know how, find someone who has and let them help. Then put an action plan together that will move you forward daily, weekly, and monthly. You won’t always accomplish your game plan, but that is what a dream manager is for. To help you with the ideas and thought processes to hold you accountable and move you forward. Make 2018 your best year ever.

    Personal Tips:
·        Annual and paper calendar – I fought this one for years. However, it is a must until you get control of your time. Your time is your biggest asset in your life. It is also the most fleeting. Time just keeps passing us by and ever more quicker the older we get. I now use an electronic calendar with alarm notifications. However, when you are working on a goal it is necessary to be able to see the scheduled game plan on your calendar in a prominent place. We have a full year calendar that covers the wall at home. Tara and I use it as a date to plan each month. You must make it fun and memorable. It’s always fun to see what God is doing through our commitment.
·        Cashflow and money- This is always an interesting subject. If you haven’t already heard, we have shown some folks how to get out of debt including their mortgage in 9 years or less by using inefficient dollars in life. If you would also like to be keyed into that information just let us know. What better way to start the year than to be on a new financial game plan to get the biggest rate of return available to you.
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.
FAMILY
We are just coming out of the Christmas season. Hopefully you got to share time with those you love, shared joy by remembering those you have lost, and being present for those fleeting moments that you will never get back.
This year Google says the top issues that face the world are…. SURVEY SAYS….
1.      Relational Issues
2.      Money
3.      Health issues
4.      Anxiety over finding or losing loved ones
5.      Religious questions
6.      Concerns about death
Obviously, I’m not going to try to answer these in this issue, but over the course of next year I feel the need to comment. 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.
Relational issues – Part 1;
sometimes a fight isn’t worth the fight, sometimes seeking first to understand is a better approach
Words, moods, attitudes, agendas, and thoughts are all factors in relationships- Check your heart; is it aligned to serving others? - Colossians 3:8; Ephesians 4:30-31; 1 Peter 2:1-3

Notable quotes:
·        Getting knocked down is a given, getting up and moving forward is a choice – Ziglar
·        You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore – Columbus
·        Don’t let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours.
·        Every step towards your dream today is a step away from your regret tomorrow. – Maraboli
·        Where there is no vision, the people perish – Proverbs 29:18
Something I want you to know:
      As a company, we look forward to some big plans in 2018. We hope you have enjoyed the Christmas season and look forward to the new year. I hope you take this newsletter seriously. This time of year, is that time that my wife and I always sit down with our goals and game plans. We let God speak to us through prayer and His constant leading that we experience. As a family, we dream big, because we know that God can do it. We owe everything we have to God and we love to see what others may think impossible become possible through Him.

  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...
