Happy Wednesday!

Today was awesome. It was the first time many of our staff got together in person since this mess started! I have said before that once we got in the hang of working from home we decided that we were not going back to the office. We said that part of our plan would be to get together in person once per month (all staff) to hang out, eat, have fun together, etc. Today was the first of these days. Our entire staff didn’t make it for various reasons but that’s ok – it was great to see all those that did!

We started the day by having our weekly management meeting onsite, followed by hamburgers and hotdogs from the big CK grill. It was fantastic to hang out and chat with the CK peeps!

The Million Dollar Inventory Blowout Extravaganza marches on. We are at EIGHTY percent off now!

Happy Monday!

Let the countdown to the fourth of July begin! CK (and many businesses) are closed this Friday to create a long weekend around “The 4th of July” / Independence day. For the days off, and the long weekend, I am grateful and am very much looking forward to it. Me and my family live on a small lake in rural Georgia and on our first fourth of July in the house last year we put the pontoon boat in the water and was able to witness lots of fireworks around us. Our girls (now 4 and 7) especially loved it. We are looking forward to attempting to do the same again this year (weather permitting).

On the other hand, I can sometimes be (or used to be) annoyed by holidays that slow down progress, business, and getting things done. But, I have started to try to slow down myself to understand, and come to appreciate, why a holiday was worthy of becoming a holiday. This weekend I started thinking about how little I know of the details of this holiday and became curious to learn more.

I quit school in 9th grade, was never good at / interested in History, and therefore grew up taking many things our history teaches us for granted. I am sure I am no different from many – perhaps some are ignorant about this and others are ignorant about that, but none of us know it all, and maintaining some level of curiosity and appreciation for history can keep us moving forward in our knowledge and appreciation of the country we call home.

As a starting place, I went to youtube and did a few searches. One video leads to another! I may post some that I find interesting later this week. For now I am swimming in info and having my mind blown.

Thank the Good Lord it’s Friday!

Our Father in heaven, Holy Holy Holy be your name! May your kingdom come to earth, and your will be done on earth as surely as it is done in heaven. Lord please give us the food and the clothes we need this day, and a place to lay our head tonight. Forgive us when we do wrong. Help us to forgive others that do wrong to us. Lead us away from the temptation to do evil, to be selfish, to be rebellious, and save and protect us from evil around us. The kingdom is yours. The power is yours. The glory is yours. Forever, and ever, and ever. May it be. It is! You are! Amen! (Praying “like this”)

Father, I want to thank you for my wonderful staff. As I work with many of them, and am aware of the work of those I don’t often come into contact with, I am so grateful that you have allowed them to be a part of what we are doing together. I might enjoy the work of my hands, but I enjoy it infinitely more when I get to co-labor with those I enjoy working with. Thank you that you put joy in our hearts as a result of the work we get to do, and thank you for the people that we get to do that work with.

I hope you had a good week, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend! This week seemed to go by very fast to me for some reason. I STILL don’t think I have recovered from the many crazy weeks and am really looking forward to the weekend.

I have been thinking about baby Jojo lately and will get an update soon. Please continue praying for the family.

Until next week!

Guess what day it is?

Monday and Tuesday are packed with meetings for me, so I really do love Wednesday. Not because it’s half way to Friday, but because for the rest of the week I get to spend more time freely “working with my hands” wherever that may lead me for the week. I do have irregular strategy and various other meetings some Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I generally have more flex time to work on sourcing, collaborating to launch new products, working on strategy, and cleaning out my inbox. On Monday’s and Tuesday’s I meet with Sales, E-Commerce, Marketing, and Product leaders as well as hold a weekly leadership meeting where we review the week behind, and discuss the week ahead. I love every one of those meetings, but of course 16-20 hours of meetings and calls in two days can be exhausting, especially when I also work another 4-6 hours a night on “third shift”. It’s totally worth it though because that is where we create accountability and get each other unstuck on what we are working on separately that comes together to move the business forward.

Today I have a day full of monthly meetings but tomorrow and Friday I am wide open, which I very much look forward to. When I have open days is when I tend to work the latest nights the night before, and sleep later the next morning. I LOVE working at night because there are so few distractions and you can really knock stuff out. I got an email from someone at CK recently saying they worked one night and it was glorious. I said we could start a club and get shirts! Haha.

Free Webcam with Product Review
We need reviews on our webcam product page! If you would like to help us out, I’ll give you the webcam free! I will give away 10 webcams so email me quick if you’re interested. If more than 10 people reply I’ll still give you a discount!

10% Off – Million Dollar Countdown to $0 Sale, Fatherless Day

Welcome to the Million Dollar mid-year BLOW OUT sale!

Happily Dapily Monday!

I hope everyone had a good Father’s Day. I had a great time with the wife and girls today hanging out, going to eat at one of our favorite Brazilian steakhouses, and playing some games at home. I was given a nice neck massager which I am sure will come in handy after being hunched over this laptop for hours on end every night haha. And, I got lots of thank you’s and I love you’s which is the best reward I could get for anything I do as a father.

Happy Fatherless Day?
We don’t all have fathers to thank on Father’s Day. I don’t, and never did. I was raised by a single mom and wasn’t told who my father was until about 5 years ago right before my mom died. By that time, he had died as well. It wasn’t particularly a “loss” as I had grown up without even having knowledge of his existence. The entire time I was growing up my mom never had a husband or even dated anyone, so I never had an at-home father figure. However, I very much had several father type figures in my life – men that influenced me whether they knew it or not.

As a kid I had uncles and neighbors and teachers and even the clerk at the convenience store at the entrance to the trailer park I grew up in. As a 15 year old I had a Vietnam vet that I helped out around the house and drove around – I even lived with him for 3-4 months and drove as we traveled, and an uncle I lived with for exactly one year from my 16th birthday till my 17th birthday that was a huge influence. The store manager at the grocery store I worked at, the store manager of the Walmart I worked at, a much older business partner I had when I was 18-20, and in the last 20 years countless mentors and respectable older men who have led lives worth following.

I didn’t start writing with a point in mind (I rarely do), but a few materialized in my mind as I did….
