I always tell people that I know when I need a vacation. It’s when the things that normally don’t bother me start to make me angry. It might be an insensitive statement, a bad driver, a slow person in line for food, or an unintended slight on my community. For the most part, these are not worthy of any level of rage. But sometimes, these start to add up and I want to unload on someone. That’s when I look in the mirror and realize, it might be time for a break.
Last week was one of those weeks.
Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing terrible. It was just a lot of little annoyances that started to add up. I even got to the point where I was ranting a bit in my office. I went so far as to record it and prepared to unleash my fury onto the unsuspecting world. Then I took a breath. I sent the video to a few trusted friends and said, “What do you think? Should I post this?” One of them, as you might suspect was my wife.
Her response? “Please don’t post that.”
I am glad I didn’t.
For me, though it feels therapeutic to unload when I am angry, it almost never ends well. (It’s one of the reasons to stop complaining). Without fail, I say something that I don’t mean. Or, often because I am frustrated, I say it without the context that I want. I hurt someone’s feelings. I alienate someone. You get the idea. And in my experience, once I say it, I almost never get the chance to take it back.
That is why I think some of the best decisions happen when I decide what NOT to say.
Sure, I could get it off my chest. I could “give them a piece of my mind.” But as I like to say: Complaining is like vomiting. It makes you feel better and everyone around you sick.
That will be my mantra this week. Take a deep breath. Gain perspective. And remember that not every idea that pops in your head needs to come out of your mouth.
Have a great week everyone.

This week Kirby and Amy talk about the reason you should (and should not) buy local. It’s not a moral obligation. Amy tells the story of an example when buying local simply can give better service. Listen in and give us your thoughts!
Weekly Whirlwind
This week in the Weekly Whirlwind Amy talks about the progress (and some lack of progress) at the building project and what has been really stressing her out over the last week or so!
Lesson In Life
This week Kirby and Amy discuss the idea of communication. Most leaders think they are good communicators. Most employees think communication is bad. What is the disconnect? Kirby and Amy dig into the concept of “over-communicating.” Is that a thing?
Shout Outs
Each week we want to give a shout out to an organization or an individual doing good work. This week Amy talks about the heroes of this time of year…teachers! Most of our kids are heading back to school…so big shout out to those that are working with them every day. Kirby gives a shout out to his buddy Bill Petrie. Bill has been hard at work on a new program called PromoMBA, and Kirby points out the big difference between ideas and execution.

There are so many ways that technology has changed our world for the better. We can communicate with nearly anyone around the world. We can shop anytime. We can donate to causes from our kitchen. We have the ability to click a button and have things delivered to our phone instantly, or to our front door in a day or two. It truly is an amazing time we live in!
The one thing I see as a detriment to this “overnight delivery” culture that we live in, is a pure lack of patience for anything.
In other words, despite the fact that we live in a “microwave society” many things that matter to us need to be cooked in the crock pot.
Things that matter take time. Change can be difficult. As a matter of fact, real progress takes pain (like I said here). Here are some basic examples.
- If you want to change your fitness level, it will not happen overnight. It will take months of real work.
- Want to start a sales career? Get ready for a year to 18 months of building trust and relationships.
- Want to have a relationship that lasts? The foundation will not be created overnight on twitter.
It’s simple…but not easy. The things that really matter in your life take time and work. They take consistent effort. And yes, they take patience.
This does not mean you shouldn’t start now! As Seth Godin once told me, “The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago. The 2nd best time is now.” If you have something in your life that is worth working for, now is a great time get to work on it. Just know that it will take time. That time won’t make it worth less. It will make it worth more.
You aren’t creating something in the microwave. You are simmering your project in the crockpot. Bon Appetit!
