Not reading to learn is first world illiteracy.

 

So reading.

Not wanting to read…essentially avoiding it.

You are in the same position as someone who can’t read.

Can you imagine the long-term disadvantage?

Insight: find sources that aren’t taxing to read.

Logan Pass sign
Had to take the obligatory photo for first-time visitors.

 

Mt Oberlin
The two snow patches (almost touching the American Flag flagpole) are noteworthy, but we didn’t know it at the time.

 

Mt Oberlin
The two snow patches are noteworthy because we hiked to the left one before returning back to here.

 

Live in intentionality every moment of every new day.

Learn to over-focus on things you used to under focus on or ignore.

Case in point…it’s the only reason yesterday happened the way it did.

Business connections don’t fall from the sky

Jeff is the Apgar Village Inn manager since 2004+-.

 

Business connections don’t fall from the sky.

As a small business startup, you often wish they did.

The good news?

i love making and building business connections.

The bad news?

It’s time-consuming.

The good news?

Nearly every business practice has never-ending room for creative improvement.

Better scale. More impact. Greater contribution. Bigger ripple effect.

Find a million ways to stay professionally motivated

Bear Grass at Glacier
Some in full bloom, some still pushing for fullness.

 

Find a million ways to stay professionally motivated.

Read.

Study.

Write.

Design.

Prepare – the workday begins the night before.

Dream.

Make your vision clear, concise, and compelling.

Watch videos.

Observe.

Take notes.

Make connections.

Teach.

Volunteer.

Forgive.

Travel.

Walk.

Initiate.

There is a fine line between continuing and quitting – passion will serve you well, lack of passion (or half-baked passion) will not.

Lean into discomfort.

Have fun.

.think .differently

Be remarkable.

Mentor.

Mentee.

Balance convictions with flexibility.

In matters of principle, stand like a rock.

In matters of style, swim with the current.

Pencil or broom. (In your career, you’ll use your brain or your body, pick wisely)

Taking risks is risky, so is playing it safe.

The best thing i ever did was start my own gig.

The thing that prepared me for my own gig was working for a world-class company.
