Are you too tight for your own good? Let me tell you what I mean by that man. We need to be generous people! What I’m saying is this from a percentage-wise. We all can be very generous and I want to talk about specifically people that take care of you because they deserve it first and foremost. The second reason is, it's good for you. We need to show a sense of generosity. We need to be grateful for the people that are taking care of us. I know when I travel around and speak and go to conferences, if I'm going to stay somewhere like three or four nights, the first night there after they've cleaned my room, I'll write a note and say “Thank you for doing an outstanding job! You guys killed it and I want you to know how much I appreciate it!” And I'll put five ten or fifteen or twenty dollars depending on how long I’m gonna be there for. Then, my room looks like a museum the rest of the week. They're very nice! they're hospitable to me and everything that I do throughout the week any requests they honor it and they feel it. Listen a few dollars goes a long way but just to say thank you to people that take care of you is a big thing! Guys we've got to have a switch our mindset it can’t be "how little can I give”, "It is their responsibility”, 'they're getting paid”…...we can't do that and expect to have great service. So I want to encourage you today to change your mindset just a little bit show your gratefulness be a little bit generous with those people that are serving you and take care of you and you watch how things change for you long term.

Are you keeping something that you should have told someone? Are you doing something that you should not? When you follow your conscience, often times your decision is not popular, only not it's not popular or it's really hard to do. You can kick the can down the road, You can deal with this later but it's always difficult when you deal with it later. There's always a way for the truth to bubble to the surface And it's easier to deal with it, you coming fort-right than it is to get caught. You got to shine the light in the darkness! You got to deal with tough matters. And I want to encourage you to do that today. I promise you will feel a sense of relief!

As an entrepreneur for 41 years now, I have faced making difficult decision. Do you make the honorable choice the right decision even when it doesn't fit your plan? How do we expect our children to have a manner that we're proud of them if we as adults are doing these go arounds …… we're finding these loopholes in order to meet our needs? I’d like to encourage you to do the right thing! It is hard! But I want to tell you something. You’ll sleep better at night. There'll be better repercussions as a result of you making great decisions from an integrity standpoint.

I kept thinking about something this morning that I think is very important. Let’s practice to find balance with our time with ourselves and with our family. I’d like to encourage you guys to sit down with your spouse and talk about things that you’d like to do alone/personally - to take care of yourself. I’d like to encourage you as well not to be selfish and spend so much time with yourself and forget to give some time to your spouse, to your family. I think that when we take so much time with ourselves at the expense of our families we are really jeopardizing our relationships and the things that matter most. So, there is a happy balance, there is a place that you can get to that you can take care of your family and take care of yourself.

I wanted to encourage you guys to do some things a little bit differently and I thought I would just share with you what I do. What I do is that I come over to this place, a park near Old Hickory Lake, periodically and there's these benches that are around the lake and sit and think and get away from the computer, get away from the phone and I write. I make notes. I just come over here kind of relax meditate for a little while and just think how am I going to accomplish a certain task that I'm setting out to do. So maybe it's crazy. Maybe you do all your thinking at the office but for me going to these parks the greenways hanging out looking at nature just thinking. But I’d like to ask you guys, where do you go to do your critical thinking?
