2016 Goals update

2 Feb

*For my goal of losing 30lbs this year- I’m down 14lbs and counting.
The goal will be to drop 30lbs and end the year down 30lbs.
As in almost 50% there in a month I see it as highly feasible.

*For my savings goal, which I doubled – I’ve met it so far (sorry no #s as money is a private matter). I am supremely confident this goal will sail through.

*For my 2 books a month goal- well I read 3.6 books. Good right?
WRONG.
I read 2 fiction books and 1.6 education/management/finance/personal development books.
While the number is almost double I realized 2 days shy of February that I must read books that Grow ME, not entertain me.

*For my recruiting goal, I missed the mark.
But I am happy as I reached out to numerous people and got solid commitments.
With this goal I simply have to break free of my fear and use my God given talents.

*As for my mystery goal, I smashed it out of the park! Details to come in December.

Remember folks, set goals, have to do lists, and be accountable for them.

Goals, get some!

27 Jan

Damn me to heck if this ain’t the goal!

The idea of life being exactly what I want has me totally changing my life.
Concepts are now fuel to blast my success rocket and the money, and lessons I’ve learned are merely the launchpad.

I fully plan for 2016 to be life changing and to stretch me as a man, husband, and leader in ways I can’t even fathom yet.

Faith in myself and in my new path will take me there- no question.
What are you hungry for?

What risk(s) will you take?

What will you give up to get to the level after the next level?

Need help?

Start here :
1- Write down what you love doing.

2- Write out how you think you can make that passion a full-time lifestyle slash job.

3- Seek out help in making it happen.

4- Make sure that small steps, aka attainable activity and motions are the foundation of this plan.

Kevin Abosch sells photograph of potato for $1.5 million

There chips certainly aren’t down for photographer Kevin Abosch.

I haven’t read the whole article, and I don’t plan too.

The fact that photographs of potatoes sold for a million plus blows my mind.  Marketing, and quality product had to have played a role.

Or even more simply- a man who honed his craft, now cashes in.

I could go on and on but I want to see what my readers think.

AM I a fool?

Was the buyer?

Hit the comments folks.

 

This Month’s Reading

24 Jan

One of my 2016 goals is to read at least 2 books a month.
And I’m halfway done with The Silver Bomb and Secret Entourage.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has been in my hands for a few months but I’ve had a stack of borrowed books and a lot of work.

I will hit my goals for 2016.
And that is why I’ve put this goal out here in blog space for all of you to hold me accountable.

Limits are for fools

“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”

Telling the truth in Business

23 Jan

“Do you ever tell the truth Ari?”
“I tell the parts that matter.”

No article, no advice, no infographics.

Just a question or two.

In business, how important is Honesty?

Is it really needed?

Think. Brolic!

Quality Kills Competition

21 Jan

I was running errands and decided I wanted a vegetable patty from a family owned establishment that makes beef, veggie, and chicken patties.
The whole menu is only10 items.
And there was a crowd as well.

So what are the lessons here:

*Quality
The product is the best I’ve ever had and the Sunday line is always out the door when area churches close.
The menu items are all made fresh daily as well.
That is a great selling point in my opinion as I hate frozen food and preservatives.

*Fair Pricing aka value
Over the last decade the price has barely gone up.
Now maybe you’re thinking – bro they make it up on volume!
Damn right!
And how is that a problem?
It isn’t.
Also if they buy in bulk it isn’t a problem.
Based on the crowd I see every time I go their pricing must be great.
And from what I’ve paid their “competitors” I know it is cheaper.
Which leads to the next point-
They are offering an incredible value based on their target audience, and area.
This is just solid business.
Offer the fairest price you can while still creating value, and of course putting some coin in your pocket ;).

*Narrow Focus
This may be the smartest thing they do- and that we all should as well as entrepreneurs.
As the business flourished there wasn’t a massive push to expand their product line. Nope, they just stuck to what works.
A lot of small businesses want to expand product lines and SKUS but this can clog production and throw customers for a loop.
As the old saying goes, If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

If your main tee line sells 500k units as is- maybe switch the color palette, not add new designs that are risky.
If you sell rims for trucks, skip doing air flow systems.

Every business grows around the moves the boss makes.
So be sure to make your best moves- no half stepping!
