    I quit my job and bought a shoe store

    EXECUTION 
    I had concerns about moving downtown, so I spend some time investigating. I spent a day walking around, checking out the local shops and talking to their owners. I was encouraged to check out the downtown association, which I did, and learned about a new grant initiative that would help offset...

    I quit my job and bought a shoe store

    EXECUTION 
    I'm on the road to making significant changes. It started with a shoe show last summer, where I made connections and got some great input. I had been operating with the perspective that there was no clear path for significantly growing this business. I came away energized with a changed view...

    Closed one of my TSLA positions. In 8/1 at 311.81, out today at 458.38. Seemed like a decent time to take the money and run, and I need to raise some cash to put into my business.

    Down markets and the ability to find qualified employees

    PEOPLE 
    There are 2 ways to get qualified workers. You only mentioned the 1st, which is to pay enough to hire them. The 2nd is to develop them yourself. Hire people with potential and teach them. That's how it worked for most of human history. I grew up about an hour away from Fort Smith. I'd argue...

    I absolutely hate it. I make sure all my subscription services are billed to a credit card and I'll have it shut down and a new card number sent if they make too hard to quit. It's a good thing to do every once in a while anyways. My wife signs up for so much crap she can't keep track so it's...

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    Black coffee absolutely tears me up on an empty stomach. I got caffeine pills to stop the withdrawal headaches. The body produces more adrenaline when fasting, so I really don't need much caffeine at all to be functional. On longer fasts my energy levels become quite situationally responsive...

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    People insisting there's only one way to fast is one of my pet peeves. It's like saying there's only 1 way to exercise.

    Has the calculator made humanity less good at using math? I don't think so. I was an engineer and used math all the time, but never worried about doing precise calculations in my head. I worried about using the right formula and getting the right inputs. I let the computer do the computing. AI...
