Finished a trip to Denver to do a strat plan with Pine last June. I can’t think of better time spent than intentional time planning your business and creating alignment.

The only ones who will remember you worked late are your kids.
- Foxhall reminded me, “Mediocre results are due to chronic inconsistencies.” He’s right!
- Movement does not mean progress. Sit and think on that idea.
- I can manage disappointment. I can’t manage misinformation or no information.
- If you want to build world-class organizations, get your people to be honest, authentic, vulnerable, and talking.
- I hate “Me Too” businesses. They are ripe for displacement and are in the predictable death spiral headed to 0% margins.
I can only get behind a “Me Too” business if the market grows so quickly that you’re not directly competing for existing market share. New clients enter the market daily for you to serve, making you viable—otherwise, QUIT.
Have a great week!
