Time marches on and so do our relationships with our families, with our friends, and even with our work families. We spend more time with our work families than with our real families at home - that is a fact based on eight plus hours a day, or night for that matter. So here is the question of the hour: “What would you do for your work family?” Well, we could all think of a few things we would do like help them learn from us ~ the different, perhaps better or quicker ways to complete a task whether it be at work or with something they need to do at home. We might even offer to take them to the doctor, shopping, drop their children off at school, or even watch their children for them as they go through some crisis of their own. Now comes the BIG question . . . Would you do anything in your power to ensure their future in your company? What I mean by that is, would you put your future and that of your company on the line to find another avenue of income the company could handle to ensure their futures and that of the company - even though there is some risk- taking involved? Well, if you started the company, you took risks, right? So the last question I have is this . . . Do you think “Can’t Ever Did Anything?” I, for one, don’t think it ever did and it never will - so some risk-taking for the sake of your work family and their families as well as you and yours, is worth it. As my husband and I used to always say, “We could start all over again in a tent, if everything were taken away from us, and be happy.” So march on we shall. Great things are on the horizon for you and WWDR ~ stay tuned. We Will See you on the trail! NEXT STOP ~ CGA With pen (computer) in hand . . .
