Leaner Times Call For Simplicity – Learn To Be Content With Less

Well first of all, I want to apologize for not being consistent with the newsletter, some weeks you get it on Tuesday, others Wednesday or Thursday, and this is Friday! I’m really going to try to be consistent and send it out every Thursday, as I currently promise.

Oh, and last week I missed the newsletter because I was on vacation in the resort state … of Indiana :) It was awesome, my sister was there with her husband and kids, my mom was there, and my wife and I brought our 5 kids. We stayed at my brothers house and just hung around and let the kids play, and had some nice dinners, watched movies. It was great!

I think what made it such a great vacation was that it was simple. We just enjoyed each other. We didn’t spend a ton of money, or do anything extraordinary, just talked, played games, and kept it really simple.

A good lesson for all of us to learn when times are leaner is that you don’t really need a lot to be happy. Of course, the point of being in business is to make money to support yourself and have what you and your family need.

But make sure to take advantage of leaner times to learn what really makes you happy: spending time with your family and friends. It’s people, not things, that ultimately need to be the object of our life.

So relax a little, and until things pick up, find happiness in the little things in life.
