I Hate Settlin’

You may have noticed, if you’ve read more than 10 of my posts here, that I hate settlin’.

I hate mediocrity. I hate average. I hate compromises. I don’t like to finish lower than first.

Jennifer Nettles, seen above with Kristian Bush, the other half of Sugarland, said it and sang it well in their newest hit, Settlin’:

” I ain’t settling for just getting by, I’ve had enough so so for the rest of my life. Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high. Just enough ain’t enough this time, I ain’t settling, for anything less than everything. “

When our daughters were little, I had no problem being the bad guy and saying no.

Now they’re 22, 21 and 19 and guess what, I still have no problem being the bad guy, saying no and telling them what I feel is the truth, even if it makes me unpopular.

BTW – those three daughters are as cool as the underside of the pillow, don’t give us any reasons to be afraid for their lives and are as good as the peanut butter fudge from Grand Rivers, KY.

Back to sales relsted thangs. I’m ready to embark on a new way to operate and market a few sites that could be astronomical. It could also be a dud. That doesn’t scare me in the least.

We won’t know until we try, but I’m not settlin’ for anything less than our best effort.

And knowing me like I do, I’ll push, harass and browbeat myself and my entire staff until we make it a success.

Like I said, I hate settlin’.
