I had a conversation today with Don Shan of Solution Industries today. It made me feel kind of good because he is as much of a tortured mess as I am. We were discussing our schedules since we have returned from the Vegas Show and we both admitted that our minds have automatically gone from the Vegas Show right on to putting things in motion for 2015. Never mind the holidays and all the fun and family events that will take place. My mind wants to skip right over those. I am looking at the next two months as the time I use to make sure I enter 2015 with momentum so that I do not just wake up on January 1 with the feeling of it all starting all over again. My mind is racing with things I want to do before the end of the year. People I want to visit in the next two months. I need momentum. I need projects already started. I need to have some answers in place when I’m asked, “so, what are your plans for this year”? BOOM!, here they are!!
I will take time to enjoy the holidays, I’m sure. I will attend a few parties and see some good people. But I sleep better when I have that momentum of having started things up when I could probably get away with slacking off a bit, because it will, in fact, be the holidays. Again, I’m a tortured mess. So is Don. I imagine there are some more of you out there too. If you are, then let’s get together for breakfast or lunch and at least we will feel like we are doing something productive.
Always welcome to stop by and chat with Hudson Fasteners.
tortured by the fastener industry, don’t know if that is good or bad??
we certainly want to maintain momentum coming off of the Vegas show and look forward to 2015.
lunch and learn , simple visits, or just a little conversation helps ease a tortured mind and I know I am not the only one out there, anyone have some free time? old rusty bolt? I’m buying!!
I’m right there with you boys!! Sometimes it is overwhelming to consider all that needs to be done, but I guess it beats the alternative. I’m actually considering hiring an assistant (my sister) to help me be more productive. The office work doesn’t get done while I’m on the road, and being on the road is where “we” need to be. Hopefully this will add balance and help MY momentum. Love to have lunch with you if we can squeeze in a day that works for all, otherwise I’ll see you at the bowling alley for the NCFA tourney!
