On our way to a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot and it's 32 degrees!! I am one frozen turkey!

Just made herb butter to baste my turkey- rosemary, thyme, sage and garlic- fabulous!

Doing a bit of work before I begin brining my turkey and baking pies... Feeling grateful for my family, friends, clients and colleagues ;)

Hi ho, hi ho, off to basketball, soccer and volleyball I go! 3 kids, 3 sports, 3 cities- my kinda Saturday!

7:45am, working intently on a $$$ deal, ran out of coffee, just drove thru McDonald's in my jammies! Did u see me? Poka dots or flowers?:)

PATIENCE is the name of the game when selling a business. Both parties need time to become mentally ready. Rushing may = a change of <3.

Great M&A conference, reception and dinner. Goodnight Las Vegas!

M&A Conf Tip: I love this one "Go Ugly Early". Every business has worts. Show yours early in the deal- they may not be as ugly as you think!

M&A Conf Tip: Employees are NOT usually your best buyers. Loyalty doesn't=entrepreneurial spirit AND your personal guarantees don't go away.

M&A Conf Tip: Employs are NOT usually your best buyers. Loyalty doesn't = entrepreneurial spirit AND your personal guarantees don't go away.

M&A Conf Tip: Sell now or wait 12 months for better #s? Ask: How much better will the #s really be? How much $$ will flow to your pocket?

Landing in LVegas for an M&A conference. Looking forward to learning a few new deal structures and a little bit a fun too . Rod Stewart? :)

Do more vs. do better

The easiest form of management is to encourage or demand that people do more. The other translation of this phrase is to go faster.

The most important and difficult form of management (verging on leadership) is to encourage people to do better.

Better is trickier than more because people have trouble visualizing themselves doing better. It requires education and coaching and patience to create a team of people who are better.

How can you do it?!

JK asks,
"It's like, how does anyone start their own business? How is it even possible? How do they deal with the crippling fear and harsh economic realities?"
Some people believe that if you have a good job, you shouldn't start your own gig, because it's foolish to give up a job you can't easily replace.
And some people believe that if you don't have a great job, it's foolish to waste time (and the money you can ill afford to lose) starting something when you'd be a lot better off getting a great job or going to school until you do.
And both groups are missing the point.
The people who successfully start independent businesses (franchises, I think are a different thing) do it because we have no real choice in the matter. The voice in our heads won't shut up until we discover if we're right, if we can do it, if we can make something happen. This is an art, our art, and to leave it bottled up is a crime.
I guess the real question, JK, is, "How can you not do it?"
