Hello! I've arrived back from a magical and relaxing honeymoon in Costa Rica The experience, people, weather, culture, and scenery were absolutely breathtaking! Although I returned to a large snow storm, I am happy to be back to see my family, friends, and of course, my membership!
Whenonmytrip,Irediscoveredanoldhobby; surfing Ithurt alot butlikeridingabike,itwas musclememory&themovementseasilycame backtome.Oneofthetipsthatalocalgaveme wastomakesuretochasetherightwaves.While onmyboard,Icouldnotchaseeverywavethat wascomingtowardsme Iwouldhaveeasily gottentired,andquitefrankly,someofthewaves weren'tworthitformetosurfon.
I share this with you because imagine the waves as if they were opportunities or leads. Some opportunities (or WAVES!) are better than others, while some just were not worth it to surf. I couldn't resist - but I had to apply that philosophy to my personal and business life I'll leave you with a final thought this spring: keep looking for the best waves, and then you'll have the most successful surfing experience!
As we continue the month of March, you'll notice schools around the country are celebrating ReadAcrossAmerica to honor the famous TheCatInTheHat author, Dr. Seuss. Students have been encouraged to pick up a book & read! As entreprenuers, we should do the same. Here are a few leadership and growth mindset books you should borrow from the Lemmon Public Library/Libby!
