As business owners we face many challenges-- how to manage our time, what issues to focus on, how to lead, etc. All of these really come down to making decisions, and those decisions are ultimately based on our values, our goals, and our thinking skills.

I recently found a web site http://www.thinkingdirections.com/ that offers some very good information on this issue.

Interesting Brian. Is the course done online?
Have you talked to them at all about it?

My philosophy club is trying to arrange a workshop here in Houston. That's how I found out about this. I've known the owner casually for many years and didn't know she was doing this. At this point, I don't know much more about it.

I have to admit i laughed when i first read this last night...

Then i laughed again today when i thought about laughing last night....

And I laughed yet again when i remembered what i did today. Finishing up with a bid, i said to the customer that i'd just be going back to the truck to get a 5-in-1 to scrape off some of the peeling exterior paint for a lead test. The customer got me started on something else, then I went back to the truck and drove off without getting the paint. All in the span of like a minute.... :no:

You've recommended this movie to me several times now. I guess I'm going to have to watch it. If I don't like it, I'm going to send you a bill. But first, how does it apply to paint contracting?
