How Do I Appreciate The Little Things
Adam’s son was home visiting from college recently and when he was heading back to school he said he missed the little things about being home. Things like the dog resting her head on his legs while he eats or being able to drop into his sister’s room for a quick chat.
How Do I Handle A Personal Health Issue?
Health is one of those things we take for granted until we don’t have it. Especially as a business owner. So what do you do if you get a negative health diagnosis? Are you the type of person who will let everyone know about your diagnosis? Will you keep it close to the vest? Will you “tap out” and say I’m done and focus on getting well? Or will you just keep grinding away?
How Do I Know If I Am The Problem?
So does the thought that you might be the problem ever pop into your head? One of the things we pride ourselves on is being self aware.

Now this often isn’t just a blanket statement where you are the problem in every situation, but that might be the case as well.
How Do Small Business Owners Set Priorities For Their Business?
One of the biggest challenges as a small business owner is knowing what to focus on next. With so many folks trying to set priorities for you and your business, how do you as the owner decide what is really important? Should you listen more to folks inside your business (e.g. employees) or those outside (e.g. customers)? What about someone like your spouse or children? Not to mention all those thoughts you have in your own mind. It’s no wonder so many business owners are battling exhaustion!
How Do I Know When To Use Email?
Do you have a preferred form of communication? In today’s day and age there are so many options to choose from including phone, text, email, and social media. Are you old enough to remember “long-distance” calls. What about rotary dial phones? Is there a best way to communicate?

How Do I Know What To Focus On Next?
What happens when you decide it’s time to retire and step away from your business? We find most people, including business owners, don’t have a good answer for this question. Too many will throw out platitudes along the lines that they’ll spend more time with family and friends, traveling, vacationing, playing golf or tennis. The list goes on, but in reality they’ve never really given this question much thought.
