Seal of Approval

Last Christmas I designed an address stamp for my wife and put it in her stocking. I really dislike doing the same time-consuming thing over and over like writing my extremely long last name on 50 Christmas cards. So, I felt I could solve this problem for her and simplify the process.

I enjoyed the stamp making process so much I made the one you see here. I read a lot of books. In doing so, I often have advice when a friends explains their troubles to me. I will usually recommend a few books to aid them in their quest but from time to time, have the book that contains the information that will help them solve their problem. So, I lend them the book.

Now that I have this handy dandy little stamp I can be sure that all my books will one day return to me.

When was the last time you were asked to help solve a problem for someone? How did you solve it? When was the last time you solved a problem for yourself? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Please post your helpful comments and let me know what you think. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your time :)

Success Metric

My wife teaches piano to buy our groceries and fund our sons ESA (Educational Savings Account). Each student gets one lesson per week, four per month. She told me last night that the things that suck the life out of her and suck the fun out of what she does are students that don’t want to be there and parents that don’t care either. I asked her how many lessons it takes for her to know that a student is not serious about learning to love the piano the way she does. She said, “I can tell after 3 lessons.” The students progress is proof that they are internally motivated to learn what she teaches them. It is also proof that there is a support person (usually a parent) that creates a supportive environment around them that is conducive to practicing, learning, and progressing. I had an idea for her business. All current students and new students will undergo a one month (four lesson) assessment period during which Kacey will decided whether or not to keep the prospective student on. Qu...
