Overall and by AE

I seemed to have drifted quite a bit because I was only Purposeful about 1. the 21 Minutes class, 2. a sneaker meeting with Scott about ProLender, 3. a few emails, and 4. a couple of discussions about warehouse lines. Well, I was Purposeful about drifting.

So, today, I’ll attempt to pay attention to the points above, plus warehouse lines and ProLender and some hiring practices. I’ll be sending some of you emails about specifics.

One thought though (more of a “reflecting forward” thing)….

Pragmatism is defined as “the idea that if something works, then do it.” Good behavior could be defined as “neglecting pragmatism and doing something because it is right, not because it works.
