The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit.

It's Dustin's birthday today. It's hard to believe 22 years has gone by already. An amazing 22 years with an amazing boy. I know, I know, I say amazing a lot. But it fits. So I use it.
