(Ep 94) Big Dreams Require Small Steps
It's a new year and if you haven't already, it's time to start setting the goals you want to accomplish in 2023. We have been talking about dreaming big since we first attended Bob Goff's Dream Big Conference in February of 2020. What we learned at the conference was to think outside of our comfort zones and go after things that are seem impossible. The only way to go from impossible to reachable is to take the first step. That first step could be writing down the dream. Or if you have it written down already then decide what is th...

2022 Is A Wrap, Focus On The Wins
2022 was hard for a lot of us for so many different reasons. If we are not careful, we can get stuck on all of the bad things happening around us. Things that we can't even control like politics, cost of living, and sometimes its unexpected health issues or problems at work. It takes a conscious determination to focus on all of the good that we experienced throughout the year. It takes a shift in our mentality to decide how we are going to react. So instead of focusing on the bad, what if we close out last year...

The basis of the conversation was about client relationships and how we have traded connections for convenience. We have spent that last few decades using technology to become more efficient but at the same time have lost that human connection. As business owners and leaders, it is up to us to continue to seek those relationships with our clients and find ways to connect through common interests and personal service.

Implementing A Shorter Work Week
We have seen a significant shift in how companies and individuals work over the last 2 years. We have seen companies that demanded that all employees be in their buildings 8 hours a day, 40 hours per week. Over the last decades the demand for office space has risen continually because of this mindset. Did you know that the 40 hour work week was developed by Henry Ford around 1926 to cut down the actual amount of hours that employees were working at factories? Prior to this change, it was normal to work 10 - 16 hour days. With all of that time working, no o...
