Makes it happen faster

Makes it happen faster


As you may already know, I was in Kentucky over the weekend visiting with Pat Risgby and Nick Berry.


Pat took a really cool picture of me with a statue of Colonel Sanders - of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame - on a bench. I'll have to get a copy and show it to you.


Now think what you want of the Colonel and his chicken.


You can blame him for being part of the reason everyone is so fat.


Or you could see him as a blessing, because thanks to fast food restaurants you're in an industry that shows no signs of slowing down.


And you've got to admire a man who was rejected something like 1000 times before he found investors willing to believe in him and his secret herbs and spices.


It sure didn't come easy for him.


But he sure didn't take no for an answer.


Some more chicken to chew on:


Have you ever gone to a fast food joint and marveled at the operation?


Or do you let your emotions get the best of you?


You might not like the food, but boy oh boy can these folks create a system.


While in KY I also got the chance to talk to literally one of the strongest guys in the world - AJ Roberts.


We had a great discussion about belief systems, critical thinking and emotions.


People never step back and question their beliefs.


They rarely take the time to think.


And most have their judgment completely clouded by emotion.


Oh, and if you're nodding your head in agreement with me right now, when was the last time you took an hour or two out of your life to get quiet and question everything you believe in?


I do it once a week.


Who loves ya? ;-)


Yours in prosperity,


Jim Labadie
