Stuff I Learned Yesterday

I believe that setting priorities and boundaries are very important. For example, my biggest priorities are my family, my church, and my business. Within each of those parts of my life, and all the other parts of my life, I have to set boundaries. With my business, I have boundaries on the type of work I will do based on my skills and values. I have boundaries on the types of products I will endorse or partner with. I have boundaries on the times of day and days of week that clients can contact me. I’m sure you have your own set of boundaries as well.

One of the things that I’ve learned the hard way is that sometimes boundaries have to be drawn on the amount of things that I commit to. Read More...

Last week I released an episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday called Share What You Know. On Friday, we had a contribution from Mike about passion. One of the things that Mike mentioned was his inability to control a classroom of 12 year olds when he first began teaching. Now he has much more experience and knowledge, so he’s able to run a classroom much better.

As I mentioned in my outro on Friday, we had my son’s birthday party over the weekend. After the party my dad was getting ready to leave when he asked me how my car has been running. You may recall that my car is 30 years old, so this is a pretty common question that he asks me. I told him that it was running just fine, but I had a power steering fluid leak and a radiator leak that I was having trouble solving. Read More...

Meal times at my house are becoming predictable. Not because we eat the same meals every day, but because just as dinner is being served, at any given meal we know we will probably hear the words “I want the pink bowl”. We bought a stack of brightly colored bowls and plates for the kids at IKEA some time ago. When we moved into the new home, I triumphantly unpacked the bowls and plates expecting my children to be excited about their new fun dinnerware. That lasted for a little while, as Renna was still developing her likes and dislikes. Marin has always favored pink, and I am used to her constant hunt for pink things and insistence that pink be somewhere on every outfit that she wears or at least on a bow in her hair, as if she will suddenly forget what pink looks like if she goes a day without it.

I'm reading a book called The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph. Author Ryan Holiday. It's a great read and I highly recommend it. As you can gather from the title, it's a book about facing down and dealing with obstacles in life. Let me bring us into the books concept by telling two stories, the first being historical and the second personal. Listen to this episode...
