Back To School: All I Want Is My Trapper Keeper
It’s officially back-to-school time in the state of Georgia which means polishing up the old routine of making lunches, doing homework, and the frantic mornings of getting everyone on the bus or into the carpool on time. It is also that time of the year where you are going to begin stocking up on school supplies if you haven’t it done so already. All I can remember from my childhood and teen years was my mom taking me to the local K-Mart to pick up a few Bic pens, some No. 2 Ticonderoga pencils, and my color coded Trapper Keeper to organize my classes.

This year, my two middle school children have lists both in excess of thirty items that were ‘necessary’ for them to get. It seems every year the list gets larger and larger.

Entrepreneur Series – Lesson 3 – Know Your Role As The Owner
As an entrepreneur starting a new business, you often have to wear the hat of cook, dishwasher, accountant, and general manager. However, one of the biggest mistakes a young owner will make is not quickly clarify their role within the organization. Far too often, new entrepreneurs will try to control every aspect of a new business which inevitably slows the growth of the organization. In some cases, it can make hiring and training new people so difficult it can be destructive to the success of a company. One of things I recommend to new business owners is to draw a T chart with one axis being things you like to do and one access being tasks that you are good at. What you should quickly try to figure out in the early stage of a new company is to list all of the items that you are good at and those tasks that you like to do. After figuring out this critical piece of analysis, you should begin to try...
