Wow, I been around because I kept climbing that mountain. I sold my body and soul to the companies I worked for. At some points because of the crazy amount of hours (two jobs) I was looking for a way out (mostly through others) which always resulted in the biggest lessons I learned about myself. I should be more proud of my struggle but I am not. Maybe I should make it a point from now on to embrace more of all the crazy things I put myself through. The road enabled the growth. It was all necessary to be here today so I am glad I made it. What made me list the background? I just wanted to provide a better description because one page resumes can only hold so much. And this list is more so I can see and appreciate my own bumpy ride.

Well…….hiring my second sales person today. Very new for Norway Built, but very much needed to move our company forward. Our first hire was marginal, but making this a high value activity, we believe this new one can make a difference and train the first to be all he can be and make big improvements quick. This is my “Breaking New Ground”.

Evidently you were thinking about me when you wrote this! ha

Some of your “thinking music” suggestions are free for Prime members on Amazon Music. Great for those of us who are constructing (reconstructing?) (deconstructing?)!

In search of denting the West coast & nudging the axis, our business from 2012 has been flipped over and turned into the rubble pile of a building foundation.
Thanks for for your help Larry! I just finished the book Emyth revisited by Mr. Gerber and it made me think of what you’ve accomplished.
Good Morning!

Larry,
I’m totally amped up from Super Training. I have a clear vision of the future of our company and what it’s going to take to get us there. Thank you so much. It was great meeting with you this week.

The Longshot – I like this post. I can manage another 42 years if the motivation and encoragement persists.

Hello from Maui, Larry! Revolution is the word!! See you soon.

Well said.

Good morning CT ! I’m ready !

Confidence, intelligence, a calm yet powerful demeanor, drive, positivity, foresight, accountability. Oh and a winning track record wouldn’t hurt =)

Committed hard working focused driven unselfish

Integrity, action oriented, creative and smart!

There are many people who have the qualities to: See (trends that identify needs or opportunities), Plan (a cohesive response to meeting those needs or filling those opportunities) and Do (the ability to execute their cohesive plan).

See, Plan, Do. So simple, but so complex……

I am inspired by many of my Basement Systems friends who I see doing this every day.

First that person will have to be faithful and loyal to his beliefs and principles
Second he or she will have to now that money is an instrument, a vehicle to fulfil is purpose in life
Tree some one that understands the value that is 10% is valuable in my hands

I think creative writing is a skill that shows imagination. My husband came home for 3 days (he is an over the road trucker gone for 4 to 5 weeks at a time). He used my laptop and read some of my writing. Instead of him complimenting the skill he didnt know I had or my imagination he said it is not normal to think like that and that I should go get some help. His comment helped me make a decision.

I like the add for the music!

The Truth has been spoken, we as leaders must do what is necessary to lead the TEAM, as a leader you try not to let show you are not 110% at times.. But carry yourself to do so.

I will admit sometimes I let my guard down…

Only Human…

You can apparently do that all the way into the white house. ……… i’m kidding, i’m kidding

Thanks Larry. Perfect!
Carole King sang this idea in “Beautiful”:
You’ve got to get up every morning
With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel

Thanks- this was perfect for me today.

Excellent advise/reminder and well timed – thank you

Great advice – thanks!
