For any buisness to succeed you have to be able to train and explain.
It is not just good enough to point and demand it is your responsibility to train and teach each and every employee or laborer that works for you.
If an issue arises because of lack of preparation then use that as a teaching moment, point out how the situation could have been prevented.
Don't just demand quality, give them the tools to succeed.
Choose the moment and be wary of your voice infliction, the idea is to not reprimand but to teach.
Process is important, habits are important, keep tweaking your processes to improve, embrace technology but do not ever forget that technology can never replace the human side of business-
You can have the best technology but if you do not have the right process in place and you do not teach and embrace the people around you all the technology in the world will not make you successful.
Train and explain and while you are explaining, tell them why what they are doing is important and how it fits into the bigger picture.
Do not assume they know.
It is your responsibility to teach, and train and explain.

Intimidation
Intimidation is not a way to lead or a way to conduct buisness.
People who bully or try to intimidate have always bothered me and I have always fought against them.
First I NEVER allow them to dictate ANYTHING over me , I would never allow them that Power.
Unfortunately I have to watch others get caught in their web though, I do my best to try to help but they know who they can prey on and they attack.
I can say that their power is fleeting because you can never sustain with that mentality but in their wake they do leave collateral damage.
Bullies are normally bullies because of their own insecurities and inability to actually see people or they are so paronoid that they have to run their day through intimidation to deflect.
Do not give away YOUR power or be intimidated by anyone.
Do YOUR job and do not feed into their insecurities and do not give them the satisfaction as to argue or lose your focus. Let them drown in their own negativity and be better then them .
Be the best YOU can be !

Focus
In all the busy and with all the buzz around it is more important then ever to FOCUS.
Focus on YOUR job and what YOU can do better.
If you do not like something then try to conduct change but change does not come from dogging the other guy or by spewing venom.
Change comes from within and sometimes it has to come in increments but most of all be honest with yourself and focus on what your part of the process is- do your job.
Everyone does not need to know any private conversations you may have as a malfunction fact people will not trust you if they see or hear their private conversations they may have had with you and they see or hear them on socmedia or from other people.
Focus on what you can do to conduct change but most important focus on the day in front of you and do your very best- it is YOUR reputation and PRIDE on the line.

Buck Up
Did you mess up ?
Forget to do something?
Shoulda- woulda- coulda-
Buck Up !
Buck Up and admit it and move on.. learn from it..apologize if necessary and make good.
People will respect you more if you just admit that you may of messed up then if you try to hide it or worse blame others.
Admit your mistakes and do it sooner rather then later.
And if others messed up don't take them to the tool shed ( an old saying meaning to tally wack them- another old saying meaning to yell or belittle someone ) if the people around you mess up and everyone is stressing out that is the time to extend the olive branch ( another old saying meaning to reach out and befriend someone) - they will remember your kindness and forgiveness the next time you may neededing it.
Build allies and bridges and partners..be honest .
Buck Up ! ( an old saying meaning to stand up or be true or do the right thing..even if it's difficult)

The Life
It was early one morning
Playa del Carmen
That's when I first met Jose
He had a 12 foot Schooner
A 3 foot cooler
Full of the catch of the day
And he was wrinkled from grinning
From all of the sun he had been in
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand
He said "Gracias senor", when I paid him too much for
All of the Snapper he had
Now I told him my friend it ain't nothing
In the best broken Spanish I knew
I said I make a good living
Back home where I'm from
He smiled and said Amigo me too

Back home where I'm from
He smiled and said Amigo me too
He said I fish and I play my guitar
I laugh at the bar with my friends
I go home to my wife
I pray every night
I can do it all over again
I laugh at the bar with my friends
I go home to my wife
I pray every night
I can do it all over again
Somewhere over Texas
I thought of my Lexus
And all the stuff I work so hard for
And all the things that I've gathered
From climbing that ladder
Didn't make much sense anymore
They say my nest egg ain't ready to hatch yet
They keep holding my feet to the fire
They call it paying the price
So that one day in life
I'll have what I need to retire
I thought of my Lexus
And all the stuff I work so hard for

I'll have what I need to retire
And just fish
And play my guitar
And laugh at the bar with my friends
And go home to my wife
And pray every night
I can do it all over again
And play my guitar
And laugh at the bar with my friends
And go home to my wife
And pray every night
I can do it all over again
And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made
When the truth is I'm really just dying
To live like Jose
When the truth is I'm really just dying
To live like Jose
And just fish
Play my guitar
Laugh at the bar with my friends
Go home to my wife
Pray every night
I can do it all over again
Play my guitar
Laugh at the bar with my friends
Go home to my wife
Pray every night
I can do it all over again
Wouldn't that be the life?
Wouldn't that be the life?
Wouldn't that be the life?

God bless the USA
May God bless the United States of America.
This great experiment is still alive and cooking over 200 years later.
Democracy!
Individual rights- Frredom of speech - Freedom to worship who you wish.
All worth fighting for - Frredom isn't Free- many have fought and are active members in or military and it is because of their sacrifices we get to live in this great experiment.
We are feeling our way around and some of us express our thoughts and opinions differently but is very important to democracy that we continue to express our opinions.
We need to practice debate and discussions and agree to to disagree at times but to give each other the respect that we all deserve.
Our experiment gets messy at times but it is still one of the best philosophies on the planet.
Indivusal rights
Live Free !

The truth
Discovering the Truth..
Finding the truth can be difficult at times, most people see the truth as THEY see it and have a very difficult time seeing it from any other side.
Sometimes you may need to just absorb it all, listen and maybe even do your own research.
You most definitely should not give knee jerk reactions or you just may end being the jerk.
Always try to see the other side no matter how crazy or opposite it may look or sound.
Do not get bullied, the guy yelling the loudest standing on his soap box saying ..hey look over here..is probably going to just give you his opinions ..just louder and probably with a squished up face and hands and arms moving all about. But in the end they are just HIS opinions and how he sees the situation. Does HE have all the facts ? Are they mostly personally motivated?
Do not be sheep.
Take the time to do your own investigating, stop , take a huge breathe in and just listen, do not act in the moment and join the crowd.
Be brave and strong enough to think on your own.
Money is the motivator for most everybody unfortunately and if you look under the sheets and keep pulling the thread you most likely will always find a money trail.
If you want real change ..start with the man ( or woman ) in the mirror.
Have the courage to stand alone if you must , there is strength in numbers but in the end it is YOU that you have to answer to..your moral code.
You can't hide from the real truth..the truth as YOU know it...follow your heart and your head.
