The Thunderbirds flying high above us yesterday after the AF Academy Graduation

Like the Thunderbirds, it’s nice to say that for the first time in a very long time we have great synergy at work. Being a small business owner has its ups and downs and as changes occur, we see people come and go. We have always had a great team of people that work with us, but with recent changes we have had to say goodbye to some really awesome people. Some took the road on their own and a few we had to let go.

It’s always sad, especially when your company is small, but knowing the new path and direction we are headed, making sure that your team is aligned with you is very important.

We NOW have that team!

I feel really good about our direction and where we are headed. It’s exciting and scary all at the same time. I see the light, I see where we need to be, and together we, our TEAM, is making this happen. I am sure we will continue to have those bumps, but as long as we share the same vision, we can inspire each other to keep moving forward.

Changing is always a constant

In our lives and our businesses, changes are inevitable, changes in people, growth, technology, and processes.

It seems to me that changes are happening at a much faster pace than they did 10 years ago. At times I feel the hamster wheel is spinner faster than the pace we want to go. Is it because technologies are growing at an ever faster pace?

I sometimes reflect on the way things used to be, when they were just more simple.

In today’s world, especially in business if you aren’t keeping up with the new technologies, developing better processes, keeping employees engaged, then you are falling behind.

I believe in embracing the changes, but I find myself reminiscing about how simple life used to be. Some days I feel like life and work are just flying past us.

Don’t you wish that you can just push the pause button? I do!
