Podcasts about Blocking

The U of SC football program had just won the first Bowl Game in the 100-year-plus history of the school.   After joining the rugged and tough SEC in 1992, the Gamecocks were still struggling to be the elite SEC teams like Florida and Tennessee.   Tennessee had a young QB with a head-turning last name…Manning.  We had a pony-tailed enthusiast named Taneyhill, along with two offensive lineman, two running backs all headed eventually to the NFL.   We were desperate for a signature win in the SEC. JAMES DEXTER STORY at Tennessee turning the table over, driving down to the five yard line  2nd and 1 (5 yard penalty): (7:40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc Blocked FG Returned 95 yards for a TD (9:51): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc 56 - 21 Final Score… Often, in life, sports, and business, we do desperate things in desperate times in order to solve desperate problems. The last 2 years have created a desperate longing.  Let's articulate the challenge that you are up against today. PAIN - Skyrocketing material and sub Pricing, Uncertainty, Subcontractor frustrations, Schedule delays, unrealistic clients, and PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE! Let's think through some of the desperate things you (or someone you know) may have tried in the midst of a desperate situation in your business… Go more intensely after deposits, draws, or receivables Maybe you're in a habit of using tomorrow's deposits, to pay yesterday's payables Hiring Marketing companies to get more leads/sales b/c “Sales solves everything right????”…even though we don't have measure in place to manage the money even if it did come in Tried to buy bulk material and it's dropped your cash flow Build Bonus structures and increased base comp, b/c “more money means people will stay longer” Just putting your head down and doing it yourself…”it's just easier” Tried to fix your schedule, or job costing, or projections schedule…but it just takes too much time Hired new PM's and Supers, Fired old PM's and Super's Hired your brother or your cousin, or your son Take on more work even though you are way behind on receivables and never properly job-costed previous job to understand profitability We are running around, spinning in circles, a slave to an over-heated market, the client, to the employee, to the sub, to the vendor. And we just want it to STOP.  Just for a second so we can catch our breathe.  Talked to a custom builder in Kentucky two weeks ago who said, “I'm actually looking forward to a market slow down.” I was waiting for lightning to strike.  You had a grueling week, and then you have a Saturday where you are fired up about a late breakfast where you are going to eat donuts, cinnamon roles, pancakes, bacon, cheese grits… then after you're done, you turn on a game on tv watching world-class athletes and think, “I need to work out!”  Chaos can often translate to unhealthy habits because we are vulnerable.  In the chaos of the pricing increases or material delays, we tend to rest in the false comfort of cash flow, while KNOWING that we are neglecting the discipline of purpose, process, and systems that will create a long term FIT-ness for us, our team, and the mission we are on in our business. I've seen it reported recently that both Quarterback Russel Wilson and basketball mega-star Lebron James each spend over $1 million on the health and fitness of their mind and body. Here is a hard reality…trying to control pricing and material logistics is like trying to control the weather…you can't control the weather, BUT you can forecast and adjust plans based on the latest information…and PRE-PARE. I love the world prepare…it's actually two words in Latin    Prae (Pre) = before   Parare (pare) = make ready How do we make ourselves and our business ready BEFORE the next step? A friend of mine, Chad Jeffers is the lead Dobro player for Carrie Underwood.  He was passing through Columbia, SC a couple of years ago as we were in town and we had coffee in the lobby of the downtown hotel he and the other band members were staying at. I asked Chad a simple question that I had never asked, “what is it like to play in front of all of those people?”  His response was sobering.   He mentioned that most nights he forgets where he is at, and that the “repetition of the event” can get quite boring.  In order to be great and find joy in touring, you've got to go back to THE FITNESS of your repetition and training. In preparation for Carrie Underwood's Las Vegas residency shows, Chad said… "Typically for tours (including Vegas) we will rehearse for a month and half to 2 months (7 days a week) prior to the first show. Personally, i prepare for the rehearsals about a month prior to that (especially if we are learning new music). " Kobe Bryant was 41 when he and his daughter died tragically in a helicopter crash in January of 2020.   He was notorious for his relentless work ethic.  Writers Scott Davis and Connor Perrett chronicle some of Bryant's more remarkable disciplines. Practice from 5a to 7a…in High School Shaq said he would practice without a basketball…just visualization and mind preparation Had Nike alter a few millimeters off the bottom of his shoes to achieve “a hundredth of a second better reaction time” You must “love the process…the daily grind…this generation loves the results too much.” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Nick Saban “I loved preparation more than the competing part” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Alabama Football Team NBA Scout in 2008. -“Allen Iverson loves to play when the lights come on.  Kobe loves (playing) before the lights come on.” -  Here is a question for us.  It's easy to scream, yell, turn over tables, run out of the tunnel with a new idea, rally the troops for a momentary push. What about you?  In the face of unpredictable pricing and material concerns, and personnel challenges, and disrupted construction schedules…will you commit to play BEFORE the lights come on?? The best bourbon is PREPARED before it's aged and evaporated.  The best wine is PREPARED with full ingredients before it sits. Some of you are coming to the BuildExpo hoping for a hail mary, hoping for a silver bullet, a bright idea that will change the game for you.   I want to offer you something else.   When explorer Ernest Shackleton was preparing for his Trans-Antarctic Expedition, he needed the right team.  It is said that he published an advertisement… "Men Wanted for Hazardous Journey. Small Wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."  The advertisement may not be true, but Shackleton's expedition with his crew aboard the “Endurance” was heroic and transformative for an entire British society. Reading through Alfred Lansing's aptly titled book “Endurance”, you realize what kept Shackleton and his 27-man crew alive during months of isolation and loneliness in what has been billed as one of the most remarkable pictures of survival in modern history.   What two things kept these men going, when all other expeditions facing similar challenges, died?   FITness and repetition.   In the new unpredictability, do you want to stop spending your days putting out silly fires?  You want to discover REAL purpose in your business?  You want to make time for what matters most?  To emerge out of the fog in this unpredictable market, you must commit to great preparation by becoming F.I.T.   Fundamentals   We convened an emergency meeting of our clients in March of 2020 and talked openly about our concerns and realities...and then all committed... “We WILL NOT contribute to chaos, but instead will simply respond to this call-to-action so we can implement the leadership that we have all been invited into.” It's realizing that your business is not a slot machine that you put money in and hope for the best! Five Foundational Cornerstones Firm Foundation made up of 13 Ingredients Four Structural Walls of Admin, Ops, Marketing, and Sales Your business is constructed in the same way that your projects are constructed:  Your business has a lifecycle just like you do as a human that goes through stages What are some of the fundamentals of that leadership??…   Five Stages Of A Business   Each stage requires different engagement from people, and different leadership styles from you Great News!  You can actually build predictability and stability into your business…sure, the tide and tradewinds of the market will impact you, but YOU determine your course Custom Homebuilder from the West Coast comes into 2020 with a cash account of $32,000 available dollars.  $32k on $12mm worth of contracts.  That's it.  Within 12 months, by going back to the foundations, they began 2021 with over $300k of available cash, and it continues to grow.  What was the silver bullet???? STORY:  FITness and repetition…no silver bullets.  Knowing your cash gives you OPTIONS!!! The most fundamental step to creating a FIT business, is to painstakingly spend time on the fundamentals.  Blocking, tackling, throwing, catching The second step in becoming FIT, is to…     Invest In People   NY TImes Headline: people are discontent and leaving for “greener pastures” (UPDATE: 4mm quit in January 2022) We can either gripe about the Millennials/Gen Z…or you can stop whining and start investing!!!!!  It's not as expensive as you think…HOW?

Weekly meetings don't have to be pointless, boring, worthless, and a waste of time… If they are consistent, agenda-driven, and leader-led…weekly meetings offer a consistency that your team craves! These are NOT project meetings…those are separate…these are business meetings that build clarity, focus, and camaraderie centered on the MISSION! Non-Negotiable Weekly Meetings (cue eye roll)  Invest with Communication The real crisis of our day is not all of the things we think exist from the cable news tapes…the real crisis is a crisis of compassion and empathy STORY: talking with the psychologist who said that young people now have the capability to show empathy without FEELING empathy STORY: 3 weeks ago a biz owner walks into our coaching time: Wife whose husband stole her money.  They showed AND felt empathy Your team will be more prone to stay on top of the unpredictability if you lead with empathy and laser focus on the vision Reclaim the Face to face conversation Brene Brown wrote “People are hard to hate up close” HOW?  5 Question Check Ins at set times on set days Professor Sherry Turkle of MIT has written extensively for decades on the necessity of empathy.  What is her solution for the crisis of empathy we find ourselves in?

Why do Ukrainians tie people to poles? Antioxidant-rich grape powder protects brain from damage caused by high fat and high sugar diets: Study Taipei Medical University (Taiwan), May 17, 2022 Antioxidants from grape powder helped ease hyperglycaemia-related cognitive dysfunction in aged rats, a study discovered. Researchers from the Taipei Medical University said polyphenols from grape powder produced antioxidative and blood sugar-lowering properties that reduced the damage caused by a high-fat-high-fructose (HFHF) diet. Findings revealed that 6% grape powder group had reduced RAGE, or receptor for advanced glycation end products in the brain tissue. “Inclusion of up to 6% grape powder in the diet markedly reduced RAGE expression and tau hyperphosphorylation, but upregulated the expression of Nrf2 and BDNF, as well as the phosphorylation of PI3K and ERK, in the brain tissues of aged rats fed the HFHF diet,” the researchers reported. Thus, while long-term diet high in fructose and fat levels can cause hyperglycemia-related cognitive dysfunction in aged rats, grape powder supplementation can help ease the damaging changes in the brain protein related to neurodegeneration. Excessive degradation of mitochondria is the tipping point from normal alcohol metabolism to alcoholic liver disease Medical University of South Carolina, May 24, 2022 While most commonly known as “the powerhouses of the cell” because of their energy producing capabilities, mitochondria also play important roles in regulating the health of cells. These important structures can be damaged by alcohol consumption, which can cause them to rupture and release their DNA, proteins and lipids, collectively known as “damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).” To understand more fully how alcohol damages mitochondria, and how this leads to mitophagy, researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) used an advanced imaging technique to investigate changes in mitochondrial function within the livers of mice that were exposed to alcohol. Their findings, published online on March 16 in the journal Autophagy, demonstrated that exposure to alcohol causes a specific type of mitochondrial damage called depolarization. In a completely novel discovery, they found that it is this depolarization that indicates to the cell that the mitochondria are damaged and thereby causes activation of the mitophagy machinery to remove the damaged mitochondria before they can cause harm. The current study determined that mitochondrial injury, specifically depolarization, initiates mitophagy to prevent damaged mitochondria from accumulating in cells. Blocking depolarization after ethanol exposure also blocks mitophagy, preventing mitochondrial depletion. Flavonoids may slow lung function decline due to aging Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, May 22, 2022 Previous research has shown that the plant-produced chemicals known as flavonoids have beneficial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Anthocyanins, the type of flavonoid investigated in the current study, have been detected in lung tissue shortly after being ingested, and in animals models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The plant chemicals appear to reduce mucus and inflammatory secretions. The researchers analyzed data from 463 adults (average age: 44) who participated in the second and third European Community Respiratory Health Surveys from 2002 to 2012.  The researchers also analyzed the association between anthocyanin consumption and lung function in smokers, those who had never smoked and those who quit. The association between high consumption of the flavonoids and reduced lung function decline appeared to be stronger among both never smokers and those who had quit than in the general study population. Among smokers, the study did not find an association between anthocyanin intake and lung function. “Our study suggests that the general population could benefit from consuming more fruits rich in these flavonoids like berries, particularly those who have given up smoking or have never smoked, Dr. Larsen said.  Medication doesn't help kids with ADHD learn, study finds Florida International University, May 24, 2022 For decades, most physicians, parents and teachers have believed that stimulant medications help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learn. However, in the first study of its kind, researchers found medication has no detectable impact on how much children with ADHD learn in the classroom. Approximately 10% of children in the U.S. are diagnosed with ADHD and more than 90% of them are prescribed stimulant medication as the main form of treatment in school settingsbecause most physicians believe that medication will result in better academic achievement. Researchers evaluated 173 children between the ages of 7 and 12 with ADHD participating in the center's Summer Treatment Program, a comprehensive eight-week summer camp program for children with ADHD and related behavioral, emotional and learning challenges.  Each child was randomized to be medicated with a sustained-release stimulant medication during either the first or second of the instructional phases, receiving a placebo during the other. Contrary to expectations, researchers found that children learned the same amount of science, social studies, and vocabulary content whether they were taking the medication or the placebo. Mediterranean diet may blunt air pollution's ill health effects NYU School of Medicine May 21, 2022 Eating a Mediterranean diet may protect people from some of the harm of long-term exposure to air pollution, and reduce their risk of dying from heart attacks, stroke and other causes of death, according to new research. The researchers analyzed data from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Diet and Health Study. Over 17 years, the study followed 548,699 people (average age 62 at enrollment) from 6 states. During that time, 126,835 people in the study group died. The researchers created five groups of participants based on their level of adherence to a Mediterranean diet and linked participants to estimates of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrous oxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) based on census tract information. When comparing those least and most adherent to a Mediterranean diet, the study found that: Deaths from all causes increased by 5 percent for every 10 parts per billion (ppb) increase in long-term average NO2 exposure in those least adherent, compared to 2 percent among the most adherent. Cardiovascular disease deaths increased by 17 percent for every 10 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) increase in long-term average PM2.5 exposure in those least adherent, compared to 5 percent among the most adherent. Cardiovascular disease deaths increased by 10 percent for every 10 ppb increase in NO2. exposure in those least adherent, compared to 2 percent among the most adherent. Heart attack deaths increased by 20 percent for every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure in those least adherent, compared to 5 percent among the most adherent. Heart attack deaths increased by 12 percent for every single ppb increase in NO2 exposure in those least adherent, compared to 4 percent among the most adherent. Why blueberries are an effective weapon in the war against Alzheimer's disease University of Cincinnati,  May 21, 2022 Could a plump, little blueberry really hold colossal promise in the fight against Alzheimer's disease? New research adds to the growing evidence that blueberries, bursting with antioxidants, could help diminish the devastating defects of dementia. Newly released study findings show that certain flavonoids found in blueberries could also hold the key to lessening the effects of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers, led by Krikorian, believe that blueberries' beneficial effects against Alzheimer's could be due to certain flavonoids found in the berries. Known as anthocyanins, they have been shown to improve cognition in tests with animals. Those receiving the blueberry powder were found to exhibit improved brain function and cognitive performance compared to those in the control group, with better memory and improved access to words and concepts.  In another study, 94 people, aged 62 to 80, were divided into four groups. The subjects did not have diagnosed early-onset Alzheimer's, but did report feelings of having their memory decline.

On my ongoing personal development journey, on Thursday's episodes, I now focus on consolidation. Repetition is the mother of all learning, they say. So instead of adding more knowledge, I revisit the previous episodes and consolidate the wisdom imparted by my guests.⁣ I intend to distil and share this wisdom with you in a way that you'll find something that clicks, something that inspires you to take action as a result. ⁣ Today the topic is emotions. Understanding them, evaluating them, mapping them, managing them, and also emotional intelligence and the two components of building it.   I revisit 4 of the previous episodes and share the wisdom of my guests: David Saville (#008), Chuck Hogan (#009 & #016), Rich Waterman (#022), and Uzma Naqvi (#061). ⁣ ݆⁣

The famous Green Bay Packers Coach Vince Lombardi often referred to the importance of the basics in the American Football game, the blocking and tackling.  Being an Aussie and a Rugby fan, I sort of know what he is talking about.  The brilliant plays, full length of the field returns, Hail Mary throws, the tactics and strategies are all important, but if the basics are not being done properly, it all comes crashing down and you will never win.  Sales is the same.   Blocking and tackling is boring, grinding, not flashy and not exciting.  There are many aspects of sales which are dead boring, painful, annoying and irritating, but they have to be done.  For some salespeople though, landing the whale client is a much more scintillating idea.  I have had a number of salespeople, who were very talented, smart individuals, who found all that blocking and tackling was for lesser mortals.  They decided to start at the top and work up from there.  Their intelligence proved to be a stumbling block to success in sales. That big deal would be the game changer.  This client is going to be a huge contributor to profits, once the deal is landed.  Except I am still waiting years later for that deal to be landed.  That revenue they trumpeted never turned up and they are gone, gone, gone.   Recently a friend of mine asked me to coach someone whose business was struggling.  In the course of the conversation, it became clear that the blocking and tackling of sales wasn't exciting for him.  Here is a revelation – it isn't exciting for anyone!  Nevertheless, the business needed income and he was the one designated to go out and get the deals.  Our mindset can work against us, as well as for us.  If we want to pursue bright shiny objects, because that is exciting and we want to avoid the slog of sales because that is boring, we will be out of a job or out of our business.  We have to change our mindset and there is nothing like survival to focus your attention where it needs to be.   The pandemic has not negatively affected all industries, but it has hammered most, mine included.  This is the most difficult time in business I have ever experienced, due to a catalyst we haven't seen in play since the Spanish Flu in 1918. There is no corporate memory on how to deal with this existential threat to corporate survival.    Clients are now working from home.  You call their office and all you get is subordinate obscurantism regarding their email address or their phone number or any other details about how to get in contact with them.  The blocking and tackling of cold calling has become so irritating in Japan.    Maybe it is the same everywhere, but here there is a definite mindset that anyone calling the company is an enemy and they must be thwarted at every turn.  The boss's minions who answer the phone probably imagine they are doing a good job keeping their boss away from callers, but are they really helping?  The wheels of commerce need to turn and nothing happens in business until a sale is made.  We need new and better services than we did pre-pandemic, but it is proving very hard to get that message out.   Consequently, cold calling is in remission for most salespeople.  Blocking and tackling still has to move forward and we need to think of different ways of grabbing buyer attention.  In normal times, turning up to the office and trying to see the buyer would be thought to be inefficient.  Tobikomi eigyo (飛び込み営業) needs to make a comeback.  It is much harder to eject people from the office reception than on the phone or over email.  Companies are getting back to the office at least a couple of days a week, so there is a chance the buyer will be there and guess what?  They are not meeting other sellers because the guard dogs are keeping salespeople at bay and no one else is just dropping in.  Naturally, many of the newer buildings have elaborate entry procedures requiring QR codes etc., but not every buyer is thus shielded from us dropping by.    Is it efficient?  Compared to just getting blocked all of the time, it is slightly better than nothing.  At least it gives us a chance to meet the buyer and set up a formal appointment for a later stage.  Is it enjoyable, just suddenly barging into the reception area and trying to meet the buyer?  Not really, but you need a thick hide, if you want to be in sales, so you have harden up.  By the way, if anyone ever complains to you about your tactics to see the buyer, just say, “Yes, I can completely understand your viewpoint and I am also sure that this is the type of mindset and approach you would want to see from your own sales team, when facing these tough times due to the pandemic”.  Believe me they will quickly get the point and even if you are still blocked, there has been no brand damage.   Sending something interesting by mail is another good idea.  The guard dog will block your call but will diligently deliver the mail package to the boss's desk.  Put together some contents which will get the buyer interested.  Make the package slightly lumpy, so that it doesn't look like a bunch of boring documents.  What ever you need to put in there, it better answer the buyer's most pressing need and be able to inform the buyer of that fact in two seconds.  The window of attention is only showing a sliver these days, as everyone is so busy.  We have to make the most of the chance we have manufactured.   Blocking, tackling and grinding drives us all crazy, but we cannot defy the truth of the importance of mastering the basics in sales.  You can talk up a storm, project the arrival of the whale any moment now and make all manner of excuses, but either the deal gets done and the money gets banked or it doesn't.  Back to basics everyone, if you want to survive what the world is throwing at us all right now.

War in Ukraine has killed thousands, created millions of refugees, and destroyed cities. Prophetically, the most significant result is unfolding in Europe, where there are increasingly strident calls for European unification. Vladimir Putin is signaling he may officially declare war on Ukraine on May 9, VE Day in Europe. This would mean ramping up prolonged efforts to secure this former Soviet territory. An unprecedented leak revealed the U.S. Supreme Court's intent to overturn Roe v. Wade, but this revelation was deliberately planned to cover up publicity about the 2020 presidential election steal. We also talk about horrific terrorist attacks in Israel, causes of global supply-chain problems, Ireland's elections possibly empowering terrorist-affiliated Sinn Fein, Israel's deep alarm over Iran's nuclear program, and a push for a corporate boycott of free speech on Twitter.

Last month, and much to the excitement of cannabis enthusiasts, The MORE Act passed in the House of Representatives. While this was not the first time the house passed such a bill, there was a renewed sense optimism, especially since the majority of Americans support some form of marijuana legalization. In order for the MORE Act to continue on its way towards law, however, it has what appear to be insurmountable hurdles. The Act “will need to gain 60 votes in the evenly divided Senate before moving to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature, an outcome widely seen as unlikely given the lack of Republican support for the measure,” according to Reuters. If Republicans do not support the MORE Act, which it looks likely they will not, what will this mean for those Republicans who are up for re-election in states where marijuana is an important issue? Furthermore, how are Republican senators and congresspersons still able to keep their seats when their voting seems to contradict the general consensus of the American people?

Time Boxing is a simple and useful time management technique that Neil utilises to keep his tutoring business running chaos free. With this method you will not waste time, and subsequently, money.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Use paper so you can see it all in front of you without having to open software or be distracted by social media alerts. In your diary spaces have two columns, one for notes and the other half hour increments with three columns ; Plan A, B and C. Plan A is the game plan for the day. For each allocated time and task, draw a horizontal line in that section. Include meals and breaks. Plan B is the backup plans when plan A's aren't possible and are blocked by circumstance. Plan C column, usually blank due to plan A and B failing being remote, is for this eventuality. Have start and end times for activities and as you use the method more often you will become more knowledgable in how long tasks take and this diary is there to be referred to as a record of your time use. BEST MOMENTS ‘Paper is the real deal. It will always tell you the truth and will always be straight and honest with you.' ‘I do this at the start of every weekend as part of my week ahead preview and also have a look at it at the end of every day.' ‘Let's say, my plan is to get up and cycle to the gym do the workout and come home. But I get up and we've had a snowfall overnight. Maybe my bikes got a technical problem or something unexpected comes up that prevents plan A from happening. So, maybe plan B is to drive to the gym.' ‘The whole point is to always have start and end times for your activities. Now I find that his focuses you terribly well and it always has a properly thought through, ahead of time , automatic go to plan just in case.'

STORY The U of SC football program had just won the first Bowl Game in the 100-year plus history of the school.   After joining the rugged and tough SEC in 1992, the Gamecocks were still struggling to be the elite SEC teams like Florida and Tennessee.   Tennessee had a young QB with a head-turning last name…Manning.  We had a pony-tailed enthusiast named Taneyhill, along with two offensive lineman, two running backs all headed eventually to the NFL.   We were desperate for a signature win in the SEC. JAMES DEXTER STORY at Tennessee turning the table over, driving down to the five-yard line  2nd and 1 (5-yard penalty): (7:40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc Blocked FG Returned 95 yards for a TD (9:51): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc 56 - 21 Final Score…we were  Often, in life, sports, and business, we do desperate things in desperate times in order to solve desperate problems. The last 2 years have created a desperate longing.  Let's articulate the challenge that you are up against today. PAIN - Skyrocketing material and sub Pricing, Uncertainty, Subcontractor frustrations, Schedule delays, unrealistic clients, and PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE! Let's think through some of the desperate things you (or someone you know) may have tried in the midst of a desperate situation in your business… Go more intensely after deposits, draws, or receivables Maybe you're in a habit of using tomorrow's deposits, to pay yesterday's payables Hiring Marketing companies to get more leads/sales b/c “Sales solves everything right????”…even though we don't have measure in place to manage the money even if it did come in Tried to buy bulk material and it's dropped your cash flow Build Bonus structures and increased base comp, b/c “more money means people will stay longer” Just putting your head down and doing it yourself…”it's just easier” Tried to fix your schedule, or job costing, or projections schedule…but it just takes too much time Hired new PM's and Supers, Fired old PM's and Super's Hired your brother or your cousin, or your son Take on more work even though you are way behind on receivables and never properly job-costed previous job to understand profitability We are running around, spinning in circles, a slave to an over-heated market, the client, to the employee, to the sub, to the vendor. And we just want it to STOP.  Just for a second so we can catch our breath.  Talked to a custom builder in Kentucky two weeks ago who said, “I'm actually looking forward to a market slow down.” I was waiting for lightning to strike.  You had a grueling week, and then you have a Saturday where you are fired up about a late breakfast where you are going to eat donuts, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, bacon, cheese grits… then after you're done, you turn on a game on tv watching world-class athletes and think, “I need to work out!”  Chaos can often translate to unhealthy habits because we are vulnerable.  In the chaos of the pricing increases or material delays, we tend to rest in the false comfort of cash flow, while KNOWING that we are neglecting the discipline of purpose, process, and systems that will create a long term FIT-ness for us, our team, and the mission we are on in our business. I've seen it reported recently that both Quarterback Russel Wilson and basketball megastar Lebron James each spend over $1 million on the health and fitness of their mind and body. Here is a hard reality…trying to control pricing and material logistics is like trying to control the weather…you can't control the weather, BUT you can forecast and adjust plans based on the latest information…and PRE-PARE. I love the world prepare…it's actually two words in Latin    Prae (Pre) = before   Parare (pare) = make ready How do we make ourselves and our business ready BEFORE the next step? A friend of mine, Chad Jeffers is the lead Dobro player for Carrie Underwood.  He was passing through Columbia, SC a couple of years ago as we were in town and we had coffee in the lobby of the downtown hotel he and the other band members were staying at. I asked Chad a simple question that I had never asked, “what is it like to play in front of all of those people?”  His response was sobering.   He mentioned that most nights he forgets where he is at, and that the “repetition of the event” can get quite boring.  In order to be great and find joy in touring, you've got to go back to THE FITNESS of your repetition and training. In preparation for Carrie Underwood's Las Vegas residency shows, Chad said… "Typically for tours (including Vegas), we will rehearse for a month and half to 2 months (7 days a week) prior to the first show. Personally, I prepare for the rehearsals about a month prior to that (especially if we are learning new music)." Kobe Bryant was 41 when he and his daughter died tragically in a helicopter crash in January of 2020.   He was notorious for his relentless work ethic.  Writers Scott Davis and Connor Perrett chronicle some of Bryant's more remarkable disciplines. Practice from 5a to 7a…in High School Shaq said he would practice without a basketball…just visualization and mind preparation Had Nike alter a few millimeters off the bottom of his shoes to achieve “a hundredth of a second better reaction time” You must “love the process…the daily grind…this generation loves the results too much.” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Nick Saban “I loved preparation more than the competing part” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Alabama Football Team NBA Scout in 2008. -“Allen Iverson loves to play when the lights come on.  Kobe loves (playing) before the lights come on.” -  Here is a question for us.  It's easy to scream, yell, turn over tables, run out of the tunnel with a new idea, rally the troops for a momentary push. What about you?  In the face of unpredictable pricing and material concerns, and personnel challenges, and disrupted construction schedules…will you commit to play BEFORE the lights come on?? The best bourbon is PREPARED before it's aged and evaporated.  The best wine is PREPARED with full ingredients before it sits. Some of you are coming to the BuildExpo hoping for a hail mary, hoping for a silver bullet, a bright idea that will change the game for you.   I want to offer you something else.   When explorer Ernest Shackleton was preparing for his Trans-Antarctic Expedition, he needed the right team.  It is said that he published an advertisement… "Men Wanted for Hazardous Journey. Small Wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."  The advertisement may not be true, but Shackleton's expedition with his crew aboard the “Endurance” was heroic and transformative for an entire British society. Reading through Alfred Lansing's aptly titled book “Endurance”, you realize what kept Shackleton and his 27 man crew alive during months of isolation and loneliness in what has been billed as one of the most remarkable pictures of survival in modern history.   What two things kept these men going, when all other expeditions facing similar challenges, died?   FITness and repetition.   In the new unpredictability, do you want to stop spending your days putting out silly fires?  You want to discover REAL purpose in your business?  You want to make time for what matters most?  To emerge out of the fog in this unpredictable market, you must commit to great preparation by becoming F.I.T.   1.
