Prayer guaranteed to get you day off to a good start

I have had this prayer in front of my Day Runner planner since May of 2006. I thought I would share it.

Lord, I thank you for your love for me. I want to serve you on earth to my utmost, without waiting for until heaven before I get started.

I believe that this strong desire to make my days on earth count for more comes from you.

Help me to set and reach high goals, measurable goals that will bless others, as well as me and my family. 

I affirm, under you, my right and permission as your child to pursue
to success the godly goals you plant in me, that I might use the fruits of success to bless other people.

Amen

If you haven't got the time to do it right; don't do it at all.

I have had a couple of contractors over to my house to evaluate some siding issues. They looked at it last week. None of the three has even bothered to return my calls or text me an answer one way or the other.
I'm sure they are busy. But being overly busy and not returning calls is precisely why businesses need a virtual administration service such as Your Office SOS. We handle the duties that you should be tied up doing.

As a business owner, you need to take care of the cire aspects or essence of your business. Not in the administrative and business development aspects. You can't focus on what you do when you're buried in paperwork and every day getting further behind. You need to dance with the one who brought you to the dance. We let you do what you do best; we take care of the rest.

Snowflake Generation.

Just heard from a friend that TCU not only has a traffic light at the crosswalk but they have a crossing guard as well. Let that sink in for a moment. We boomers had no crossing guards after 5th grade. In 6th grade, we became the crossing guards. Now I know the easily triggered and offended little snowflakes may be on their phones as they cross the street, but nature has a way of culling the herd. Seriously,  are we preparing these minnows for adulthood or are we creating a Peter Pan-like extend childhood? Perpetual adolescence.  I weep for the future.

New Tricks

I love the British crime show, " New Tricks."

The premise is that the London police opened a new squad to go after old unsolved crimes still on the books. The team was made of retired police officers who were looking to get back to work. They were needed because they had a vast amount of experience and wisdom.

Well, that is our story here at Your Office SOS. We bring around 100 years of experience to the table. In today's world, you can obtain all the information and facts you will ever need using the internet. You can ask Google or Alexa to get you facts. But what they can't do even with AI is put wisdom, knowledge, and experience together to correlate and make wise use of those details. We have made a ton of mistakes, learned painful lessons in the school of Hard Knocks.  We made them, and if you partner with us, you may make some mistakes, but you will make many fewer mistakes because we have learned from them.

So, whether your solving crimes on a fictional TV show or in the real world solving real business mysteries; get in touch with Your Office SOS.

Relocation

We recently relocated from the heart of the DFW Metroplex to a suburb of Kansas City. The place where we moved is rural, and a small town but it's still close enough to all the city amenities,  We are enjoying the small-town atmosphere.  People seem so much friendlier. It's certainly not as fast-paced.

We are still suffering from the effects of relocating after 40 years in Texas and 20 years at our old house. We have been unpacking for a month and yet have that senses of being unsettled,

Looking forward to the fall. I missed that the most when I lived in Texas.  The fall was very brief there. I may have regrets as the winter drags on, but since Your Office SOS is virtual, we can hunker down the office and give our clients that cozy feel we are feeling in our lovely new office.

Update

I skipped a couple of weeks posting my blog. We went to my 50^th high school reunion in Altoona, PA. It would have been hectic under normal circumstances but we just moved into our new house in the Kansas City suburbs the previous Saturday and left for PA on Wednesday. We are still not unboxed and settled in. But the timing was still good.

We moved up to KCMO from DFW after having spent 40 years in Texas. We moved from a 3,000 sq ft house to one just under 1,800 sq ft. We had a garage sale and a giveaway and still moved too much stuff. Between buying and selling a house and packing and unpacking we needed the time to relax and see old classmates and family.

I really miss those rolling hills in PA. The journey was like John Boy going back to Walton’s Mountain.

On Tuesday we will go full out setting up our office in our new home. Then we will be ramping up Your Office SOS.

Book Recommendation

Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely. I am getting this one on audio so that I can listen to it at the gym. It analyzes why and how we make decisions. I am not going to do a book review (you can find them online by better reviewers than myself) but I will say this is a must-read.

We make decisions irrationally, no matter how much we think we are logical and intuitive. We are manipulated by other factors and forces that prevail against logic.

With the rapid increase in the pace that we have to make decisions and adjustments daily we must get a handle on this area,

The Apollo astronauts had to make split-second life or death decisions based on experience. That is what we offer at Your Office SOS virtual administration  services,
