We moved to Amarillo, TX

Over the past 4 months I worked for Schwan's Home Delivery Service.  It was quite an experience.  It was one of the hardest jobs I have ever worked.  I typically worked 60 hours per week.  Our days where from 8 am to 10 pm, Monday - Friday.  I worked out of the Pampa, TX depot and I drove back and forth from Amarillo everyday - 65 miles one way.

Schwan's didn't work out (Thank God!) and I quit.  I'm really excited about getting back into the insurance business and going to work for Aflac (the duck).

Cowboy Funeral

We live in a small town in the Texas panhandle. Last week a elderly gentleman passed away from cancer. He had lived his whole life in the area. Yesterday was his funeral. It was a Cowboy funeral.

There's no accounting equation for our business!

Ten years ago I was a Controller for a construction company. In accounting there is the "matching" principle where it is the accountants job to match the costs that generated revenue and that principle necessites using accrual accounting. The problem with the accrual system is accountants only accrue expenses and revenue for 1 year. So how does an accountant match a onetime expense that generates a lifetime income?

We need to stop doing the accounting on our efforts. We can't do it for our money, so why torture ourselves? Our business can not be accounted for. It can only be shared!

We ask people the wrong question.

In our business we say that 'professionals' sort and 'amateurs' convince. We ask people the "sorting" question, 'Do you want to make extra money from home?' Yes or no. But that question really doesn't get at the heart of what our business is all about and we come across as a "salesperson".

Why we get hooked on facebook.

Facebook is an amazing thing. It works - it keeps us entertained. Why? If you're 65 or younger you have been conditioned to 30 second sound bites and short quips. Facebook is a way to use short little quips - what we've been conditioned to like - to stay in touch with people. Don't worry, short quip the world and be happy!

Here's a SQ to you!
