The beauty of being a business owner is that I can identify areas where I am weak, and I can (oftentimes) find people or technology to take on those tasks and do a far better job. Sure, there are some things that I must just suck it up and do, but I think generally fewer [...]
Someone complimented me on my website. "Well...I shouldn't take credit for it, most of it is material from..." I said, unable to finish my sentence. The someone pointed out that it doesn't matter who wrote it or where it came from (as long as I have permission to use it). I found/paid for/or created the [...]
I was trying to listen to a lecture but was not tracking well and found it difficult to pay attention. I was able to put it on my phone and go for a walk and get value out of it because I was able to do it in a way that I could pay attention. [...]
What is one goal you are working towards? What is your next step towards achieving that goal? Are you playing along?

Our final morning of our trip was a cold one, but we thawed with coffee and layers and hit the trail about 9am. We had both over-packed warm clothing in anticipation of cold nights. However, while nights did cool, it stayed warm long enough in the evening and then warmed up quickly in the morning [...]

Once light, we slowly packed up and had coffee and breakfast, hitting the trail about 9:15am. We anticipated traveling about 6 miles on day two, [...]
We woke early, packed our backpacks, failed to find breakfast, and set out on the last 90 minutes of driving before we started to hike. We planned to hike about 6 miles, so we figured we could start at noon and still be okay. As we approached Escalante, the road traverses a knife edge section [...]
It was about a 9.5 hour drive from Winter Park, Colorado to Escalante, Utah where we would begin our 3-day backpacking trip.
