Reading Time: 5 minutesWe’ve arrived at roughly the midpoint of summer. The days are as long as they are going to get, which makes bedtime for the kids that much more difficult. When daylight begins to appear before 5 am, and stays light past 9 pm, it feels like everyone is awake all the time. I tend to … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 7 minutesCan something be exhausting yet invigorating? If so, that’s how I would describe the two weeks I spent traveling across the Midwest, from eastern Iowa to western Michigan, back to central Iowa, and then home again. Being away from home and driving nearly 1300 miles over the course of a nine day period was exhausting, … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 5 minutesI’ve managed to find a brief moment during this busy time to collect my thoughts and reflect on all of the entrepreneurial activities of which I’ve been a part recently. This is probably the last break in the action I’ll have until the end of May. A week from now, I’ll be on the road … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 4 minutesTaxes have been filed, snowblower put away, and the sounds of farm equipment can be heard outside the opened window of my home office. These are the signs that spring is finally here! The other sign of spring, at least for me, is that I’ve been constantly moving from one event to another, much of … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 2 minutesNapoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich ISBN: 978-1-50308-103-1 James Whittaker Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy ISBN: 978-1-64095-018-4 I decided to make this review a two-for-one for a couple of reasons. First, I didn’t feel like either of these books really were long enough or had enough content each to stand alone. Second, and more … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 5 minutesHave we finally made it? According to the calendar, spring is finally here. I’m holding my breath, waiting for one more nasty winter storm to finish out the harshest winter that we’ve had in a few years. I’m sure that if I put the snowblower away this early, I’ll have to get the stupid thing … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 11 minutesThis has been the winter that just keeps on giving. If we’re not digging out from six new inches of snow every few days, or huddled together for warmth during the polar vortex, we’re getting pelted with sleet and freezing rain during an icy thunderstorm. I’ve lost track of the number of days where we’ve … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 4 minutesI love my kids. I really do. However, six snow days in two weeks can really test your resolve as a parent. If school had just been canceled for snow, I’d put both kids in their winter gear and send them outside to build snowmen, go sledding, or whatever kids do in the snow these … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 8 minutesJust as much as I like looking back over the year to see what I’ve accomplished and where I’ve gone, I really enjoy planning ahead for the coming year. 2019 is going to be an incredibly busy year, with the launch of Cider Finder, the return of Startup Weekend Iowa City, and several different entrepreneurial … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 9 minutesWant to compare where I am now versus where I was one year ago? Check out 2017’s Year in Review. It’s always fun to sit down and start writing down all of the things done during a year. These retrospective posts at the end of each year are always my favorite to create – to … [Read more…]
