Thoughts in the Car

Episode 195 - Stand Your Ground Ukraine talks abou how the people of Ukraine intend to stand their ground against a Russian invasion. It doesn't matter that Russian is the big guy and Ukraine is the little guy. It's about peace and protecting what is yours despite the pitfalls. Let's all pray for the Ukrainian people and hope that Russian comes to it senses because the days of allowing the big guy to run over the little guy is finished.

Episode 194 - 80/20 Rule for Business begs the question of whether or not the 80/20 rule works for your business. For the longest time I framed the principle in reverse. The principle determines that less will get your more. I believe that putting in the most will get you the best result. Does the 80/20 rule work for your business?

Episode 193 - First Book Vending Event of 2022 talks about me venturing out of the house to meet people and gain new readers. Sometimes the easiest way to create awareness about your products/services to be out among people. The difference in gaining new business is your presence. I lost sight of that during these trying times.

Episode 192 - Russian Shenanigans talks about how everyone is worried about Russia seizing control over Ukraine. I don't believe President Zelensky is going to let it happen. The United States of America is more than willing to provide the tools necessary for Ukraine to protect themselves, but we do not have time for the Russian Shenanigans.

Episode 191 - New for 2022 talks about my goals for 2022. The number one thing is to start getting out amongst the people because that's what started my fan base and readership. The goals might seem familiar, but the approach will be different. We all have aspirations for bigger and better things. We can achieve them one step at a time and if we miss the mark at least we can get closer.

Episode 190 - Milder Variant Replaces the Common Cold? Many people have been testing positive for COVID-19. Could it be that since we are in the cold and flu season, mask mandates have been relaxed, people are getting really bad cases of cold and flu as they normally would prior to the COVID-19 outbreak two years prior? Everything can't be a milder variant of COVID-19. The symptoms are the same as a normal coronavirus. We have to cope with being re-introduced to the common cold and flu.

Episode 189 - Resolutions are Overrated talks about the typical things that people put in place as attainable in the new year. They always fail and feel defeated because they give up. Resolutions are overrated and I share some of mine from the past and how I'm moving in the future. The glass is always half full as long as you see some progress. Sure, it will never be exactly as you envision. Sometimes you will overachieve and other times you will underachieve, but there is always some growth despite the expectations that you set for yourself. Happy New Year!

Episode 188 - CDC Changes? Talks about the possibility that CDC is changing the protocol for COVID-19 because they could be trying to speed up herd immunity. What do you think?

Episode 187 - Happy Holidays is my Christmas wish for you and yours.

Episode 186 - Preparing for Guests talks about getting ready to have people visit overnight. It’s a lot of work for people who don’t normally entertain. I’m having visitors. I’m exhausted with the preparation and they haven’t arrived yet.
