Happy New Year, Scaling UP! Nation. It's amazing how much we can accomplish in a year, and right now, at this moment, you get an entire year to accomplish your goals.

Take this week to plan your year because we all know that life set to default doesn’t get us where we want to go. Don’t live life by default; instead, do something new each and every day to make sure that you are getting the most out of it. Make sure you're working towards your goals every day this year. Build a life you can reflect back on and be proud of in 2023.

Bottom line: Trace Blackmore is going to teach you how to start the year off right by doing a SWOT Analysis with a twist.

Periodic Water Table 

…PBTC. First, what does PBTC stand for? What is its chemical formula?  What is it used for? What systems is it used in? How does it compare with other phosphonates? What does “calcium tolerance” have to do with PBTC? What concentrations is it used in industrial water treatment? Is it synergistic with any other water treatment chemicals? Do you use any products with PBTC in it right now? Which ones?
