Failure makes us smarter
If everything was easy, we wouldn't be very good. Without failure we don't reexamine anything. Screwing up is inevitable, but learn fast and make adjustments.
You are the sunlight
Sunlight can be diffused into a soft casual light, or it can be focused to start a fire. You are the sunlight.
Only You
What can YOU and only YOU do at your company today that will make a big difference in the future?
"Final Drive"
Your parents raised you. Dozens educated you. You got up each day and got yourself ready to face each year up to now. You started this business. You learned lots of things. You invested. You made mistakes, you kept going. All that to prepare you for now. Now is your…
Order from Chaos
Simplicity is complexity well done. A simple beast is easier to understand and tame. Make your business simple.
Work/Life "Balance"?
That implies you don't like work very much. Make work something you like. Then it's more like "work/life integration". At the end of the day it's all just life.
What is a company?

I am grateful for your help!
Thank you,
Ed
