    Drifting off course and using Extreme Ownership to correct our course

    In today's podcast we share our review of February as a business in some of the frustrations we have had - or I have. So looking at what we do and how, it was shown thanks to our Business coach Michael Murray from Nolan Consulting on what we need to look at better- ourselves. I mentioned another coaching consultant we use, who is also one of my best friends, Chris Hewitt, from Hewitt and Sons Consulting. Love to hear any feedback you have, ideas etc. Have a great day and God bless.

    Rethinking our goals from growth mindset

    Well here is a podcast, long overdue, where we are going to refocus how we think about our business- Rethinking goals from growth mindset The first thing is to not focus on goals but growth. We need to spend the time on energy to think more about the people we serve and employ vs. the numbers we want to reach. Don't get me wrong we still have to earn a certain dollar amount, but if we turn the why we do things, and how we do it, I believe the money will follow. So we are now hiring promoting our core values and mission statements. Developing our employees, in 425 homes/business and that we can be found guilty of our core values this year would be a great year indeed.

    What is Wallpaper?

    People either love or hate wallpaper because of their experience with it. But somebody else's bad experience does not necessarily have to be yours, too. Discover what is wallpaper and understand what you need to achieve the best results with different wallpapers! "If you had a bad experience with wallpaper, it's usually because of some bad installation." - David Cook Wallpaper for Your Home Wallpaper is no longer something that you can stick to a wall in your home. It comes in various designs and can be used for your bedroom, living room, kitchen, ceiling -- almost anywhere. It is also made up of different materials. Some can be made of paper at the front and fabric at the back, while others are made of the opposite way around. Different Types and Sizes of Wallpapers Wallpapers come in different types. The most popular ones are commercial vinyl. They are heavy and wash well. The other two other types are digital graphics and grasscloth. "How wide [a wallpaper] is can help determine how much you are going to need." - David Cook Typically sizes are 20.5 inches x 27 inches and 30 inches x 36 inches. It varies on the manufacturer of the brand supplier. So as you can see, not all wallpaper is the same. Nailing It With the Right Primer Not sure how much you will need for your home? You can work with a designer, paint store, and/or installer to help you out. Apart from the type and size, you also need to consider the primer you need to use. Wallpaper primers are different from paint primers. Understand what you need to do first and follow the instructions.
