I just picked up the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. My plan is to share key insights as I go through the book.  Design your environment for success.  I want to complete 100 pushups a  day, so I have my scorecard right next to my monitor. As a reminder to be grateful, I will place Thank You notes on my desk.

Just started to read the book Atomic Habits. Looking to get ideas on how to make small changes each day to make a larger impact in the world.  I will document ideas each week as I go through the book.

The secret to resolving a short staff is to higher taller people! Just a little humor to start your weekend.

Give without expectations and the world will pay you back! You are the roots of your fruits.

I visited Puerto Rico last week to watch my son’s World Cup soccer game. Travel always opens my eyes to what we take for granted here in the USA. PR has had many disasters over the past couple years and is still trying to recover. Add to that the fear of COVID and you have a very interesting dynamic on the island. Power outages, pot holes and vacant businesses are common place. The people are resilient and do their best to put on a happy place. My happy face is always on when coming home to the greatest country in the world!

Success leaves clues and I love to interview people to find out get feedback on their path. In most cases, sacrifices are made to each results in certain areas of our life. I just don’t want to sacrifice the wrong things like my time with my wife and family.

I listened to Jon Weece yesterday and he raised a point about living our lives and asked, “Are you building your Resume or Eulogy?” Eulogy items are kindness, compassion, humility, mercy, forgiveness etc. Really made me think about my focus on life. It all starts with faith and leaning on God’s truth communicated through scriptures.

It is really refreshing when you try something new and it is successful. I brought on a new client to conduct customer interviews and I have really enjoyed working with them. The industry is different but my interview skills are fitting well. Once again, I moved out of my comfort zone to grow. This is not easy but so rewarding!

I was listening to Jeffrey Gitomer and he commented that writing is a stepping stone to becoming wealthy. I need to become more disciplined at writing my thoughts at least once a week. From there start publishing my thoughts to on business platforms.

The opposite of courage is conformity!
