If we never waste a good crisis, and there’s another crisis, I guess we won’t waste this one either. Onwards and upwards
Never waste a good crisis. Things go wrong all the time. I’m seeing how team members experiencing/witnessing some of that pain makes them more open and aware of the need to do better/grow. Even better when they are excited about the solutions a few months later
It’s interesting how learning occurs differently over the years. Was classrooms, Then professional career, Then books, Now doing/books/networking/X/YouTube/podcasts It’s fun when one’s own capacity is the constraint

Learning there are only so many hours in a day and at times something has to give. Landed at less than 4M steps in 2024. Even stopped wearing a Fitbit in the last 2 months so it wasn’t a distraction. Sometimes a pivot is needed. I started the challenge pre close and am…

Writing goals and preparing for the week for the past 3 hours or so feels about right. Introducing goals with an eye to @ChandlerReedSMB ‘s 3 month approach. This is going to make it an exciting way to close out the year and kick off the first half off 2024. Let’s win…
7 months in today. What a ride. Taking care to keep the core values and simplifying the operations to support them. More to come
Answering the phone when customers call is a differentiator. Amazing how much being friendly and a person counts.
The work reveals itself as you go. Thank you @RickRubin
Fiverr is great. Effective individuals for task based work. Everyone wins. The individual wants to do skill based work. The poster needs someone who gets it and can complete a task.
Path to 4M steps. 10,959 avg needed per day. Day 183 of 365 2,084,553 steps YTD 11,391 avg per day YTD More progress some days than others. Either way they all count.
10 years later, this continues to ring true
Path to 4M steps. 10,959 avg needed per day. 1,278,928 steps YTD 11,419 avg per day YTD 4% above target feels great
Doing what you say you’re going to do sure does go a long way. Haven’t been on Twitter as much, have been working and walking. Next item to do is update the step count for YTD including March.

I'm looking at a smaller deal. It's among the best businesses I've come across. But the broker said the seller is looking for the equivalent of 8-10x SDE. Even with ~2x worth of RE and a long amort period, it doesn't pencil. What's the move here?
