Why Your Business Should be Back to Square One
I’ve talked a lot about being 41 and getting back into playing soccer again, and starting to train for a race. Yep, I’m writing about it again. This morning started day one of my training so that I will be able to run the Warrior Dash, this September. My goal is the race in Manchester TN, which is a couple of hours from where I live. That gives me right around 20 weeks to get ready for this race. I have been virtually stationary for many, many years now, so getting ready to run a race that is a bit over 3 miles is big for me. I’m using a progressive training schedule to...

I used to be fearless. I used to climb anything that was in front of me. I would come home dirty, bruised, an bloody. That was ok by me, I had a blast. 30 years later, I’m forced to wonder where that kid went. I imagined all kinds of things in my travels through the neighbourhood, but the main ones were of the tales of King Arthur and his brave knights. Chivalry was paramount, honor was life blood, and there were always dragons to kill. To this day, when I see a fog bank only two words come to mind, dragon breath. I can still imagine the knights on horseback riding through the mist,...

A couple of years ago, my wife, we’ll call her C, and I were driving through down town Knoxville. It was a cold, early winter day. That kind of overcast, damp, November day that makes you cold on the inside. We passed a homeless man without a coat, quite obviously cold by his huddled up, hands-in-pockets stance. C tells me to stop the car and she starts to get out. “Baby, where are you going?” I ask. She said, “I’m going to give him my jacket.” Now this jacket she “stole” from me. It wasn’t a particularly expensive coat, but there was...
read moreLearning About Business While My Daughter Roller Skates
I took my four year old skating for the first time, last week. She was excited. I was nervous. We strapped on the skates and my wife and I attempted to give her some pointers before sending her out, knowing full well that none of that would be remembered once she stood up. I led my very wobbly daughter to the rink and set her out there. She held onto the wall and pushed herself along. I walked with her but on the outside of the rink. She fell. She fell a lot. I’d look over the edge and ask her if she was ok, and let her get herself back up. I got A LOT of dirty looks from Moms that...
read moreThe Art of Focus In the Digital Age
It’s the digital age. We receive more input now than we ever have. I’ll admit, I get sucked into the well of social media, conversing, sharing, and getting nothing done. I’d be willing to bet that this happens to you sometimes. It can get to be a problem, living so unfocused that almost nothing gets done. Businesses place restrictions on their employees in the form of policies and procedures outlining social media usage, for just this reason. Still, we have our phones, and can reach the outside to find out what your BFF from high school is having for lunch. Focusing on...
