October 13, 2026 Recently, I lost a key person in my business. I had hired this person to take over a function I knew how to do but wasn't particularly good at. Having someone else handle it gave me back valuable time and allowed me to focus on other important areas of my business. It was wonderful! But then that person left.

October 6, 2026 Recently, I went on vacation to an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean.

You have the vision and can see exactly what you want to create. Then you start doing the actual work. And that's when you realize the sheer breadth of what you've taken on. You can shrink and tell

September 8, 2026 Yesterday was Labor Day. And, as the name suggests, I got up and did some labor. 😂 I worked in my business. I worked around the house. And I made sure to take some time to hang out with my boys. But somewhere in the middle of all that, I started thinking about the word labor and what it has meant throughout my life.
