Having Your BestDay

If you believe the national surveys, only 30% of employees enjoy what they do for a living. Life is too short to waste our time doing something that does not inspire us. Sometimes we just need to see the examples of others to help us chart our own course. When we meet people who love their craft - they inspire us.

Our blog, “Having Your BestDay”, are personal first-hand experiences graciously provided by members of our team, as well as other thoughts that inspire us, information that makes us think, and insights we have learned over time.

If the first mountain is about building up the ego and defining the self, the second is about shedding the ego and dissolving the self. If the first mountain is about acquisition, the second mountain is about contribution.

July 12, 1984. I am sitting on the grass at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin with my best friend Eric and his younger sister Juli. We are there, wait for it, at the "Born in the USA" tour to see Bruce Springsteen. Yeah, THAT tour!
