Today it became official. As I sit here on a dock overlooking the Choctawhatchee Bay, the feeling is bittersweet. I’m officially divorced. The hardest three years of my life are over. I’m having trouble putting into words what I’m feeling right now. The memories of what was, of what could have been, and of love lost. It’s fitting that I received the news while in Florida, a state that I’ve grown to despise. And yet, I’m excited for the future. I have a new lease on life, I’ve learned more about myself and my capacity for resiliency than I thought possible, and I love the life I’m building in Colorado, a state that feels more like home than anywhere I’ve ever lived. Life is good. If we didn’t have sadness we couldn’t appreciate the happy times. It’s the duality that of life that makes things enjoyable. So here’s to new beginnings. To fun and adventure. And never settling for less than we deserve! 🥂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJdIkrrv3Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Never stop exploring. Stumbling upon scenery like this today lights me up more than pretty much anything else. Mountains, trees, and running water screams adventure. #getoutside #alwaysexploring #outdooradventure #rewildyourself (at Ward, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6X5NULjHy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Go where it feels good and do more of what lights you up.” For me that currently means spending as much time as I can in the mountains of Colorado, surrounded by snow, on skis, with people I love who accept me for me. ⛷️ What are you doing to light yourself up this year? #goals #deepwork #adventure #havemorefun https://www.instagram.com/p/Coa1qb8IZAN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time management is one of the most important skills in business. If you're not spending time, then you're spending money. You can always make more money, but time is the single resource everyone has the same amount of. How valuable is your time? Do you place a higher value on it then money? If not, then you're probably in the wrong business!

Excellent customer service is going above and beyond what's expected, clear communication is the key.

Take some time, focus on the big picture, then drill down till you get where you want to be. And while you're at it, pick up a copy of Purple Cow, you'll be glad you did! http://spmk.it/xZ0RNw

Your mission this week is to evaluate how you can reach both current and potential customers using emotional hot buttons. The better you know your customers, the easier this will become, and the more loyal customers you'll have!

One of the neat things about linking Google+ and your website is that the "+1" button will show up in search results (this is similar to the Facebook "like" button). This allows searchers to share your content with their friends/followers directly through the Google search results page. This is powerful! Ask your webmaster about adding the +1 button to your site today!
