Embrace Uncomfortable Conversations
I heard recently that "a person's capacity for growth is directly related to their willingness to have uncomfortable conversations." I wish I could remember where I heard that...because it struck me. And it struck me, because like so many people, I often avoid them. ...
It Was A Tough Day
Friday was a tough day in Coshocton County. In addition to the challenging personal times we are living through (and there are more than I care to list here), it was a heavy day. It started with sirens wailing around town and I texted my wife and daughters to make...
Keep Going
What if today was the day you broke through? You have been working in this sales job for months. Or maybe you have been creating content for a year. But on many days, it feels like no one cares. You are doing what "the experts," tell you to do. But it feels like...
3 Levels of Achievement
"The greatest distance in the world is the distance between 'I know' and 'I do.'" This is one of my favorite quotes because it illustrates the idea of "simple and easy." So many things are simple. They are just not easy. In other words, we know what to do. We just...

Did I Solve The Right Problems
Entrepreneurs solve problems. That's their job. All-day...every day. I talked about that here. If and when you accept that premise, it sets you free to ask a very important question. "What problems do I want to solve today?" Oh...other problems will come up too. ...
Entrepreneurship Is Solving Problems
I love being an entrepreneur. I really do. It's incredibly interesting, challenging, and always something different. And it gives me the ability to chart the path. I love that. But make no mistake...it's not easy. Entrepreneurship is incredibly challenging. ...
The Good Old Boys Club
In a world that has increasingly more tools and opportunities, blaming others is the crutch of the lazy. I have heard about "the good old boys club" most of my life. And I know there was a time when there was such a club...and it had influence. But the more I am...
