Doing What It Right Is More Important Than Fast and Cheap Currently we are in the process of repainting our 102-year-old home.

Delegating – The Thing I Suck at Most of All
And What I Need to Do to Get Better at It Okay, today’s confession. I really am not good at delegating. This is something that I have always struggled with. Even though I know that I need to…I don’t. I try. I come up with new ideas and plans and nothing seems to work. […]
It’s Friday the 13th, You Better Be Careful
Take Control and Don’t Leave Your Life to Chance When I realized it was “Friday the 13th”, I began thinking about all the different superstitions, good and bad, that people have.

Who Should I Blame for Being Too Busy?

Without A Vision…You Run into Things One of my core values is, “take off the blinders, be more observant”. I told you in a previously post that I would go into each of them in more detail later, so here’s the third one. Core values are foundational for the life that God designed for each […]
How to Determine If Someone’s Trash Can Be Your Treasure
What’s the Purpose for Your Re-purpose Recently my web and social media coordinator, Stacey, gave me a list of questions from her husband, Daniel. One of them was “repurposing ideas?”.

The Importance of Intentionality for Building Your Dream Life
Because It Isn’t Going to Magically Build Itself For years people have asked me where I came up with the business system and procedures that I use.
