So you want to add a new person in sales?
Big Red Car here. Nice day in the ATX, nice and sunny and getting a bit warm. Maybe some pool time this afternoon for a Big Red Car?
Well, we will see.

Musings on Sick Leave
Big Red Car here. Slow start today but looks like it will still be a nice day. Going for a ride up to the Georgetown Airport this afternoon to do a bit of airplane stuff.
The Boss was up early and was talking to one of his CEOs on the subject of benefits and more particularly the “right attitude” toward sick leave.

Running a Bluff
Big Red Car here. Nice — Hell, wonderful — day in the ATX. Bright, sunny and a bit warm. But, ahh, it is great to be alive.
So The Boss is up early this morning drinking some coffee and chatting with one of his CEOs and they go to discussing the business of bluffing.

Trust, Red Lines and Enormous Consequences
Big Red Car here. Bright, sunny, wonderful Sunday morning here in the ATX. Have to type fast because The Boss is at church and that is one of my prime times to use the computer. He leaves it on for me. I think.
So, I was watching the Sunday morning talk shows and gave a bit of thought to the issue of TRUST — how do you build it and how do you use it and how do you lose it?
Oh, this Big Red Car is a very deep thinker! Haha, Big Red Car you crack yourself up, don’t you?

Voomly Report
Big Red Car here. Bit gray in the ATX but is has warmed up more than a bit. Like it a bit warm and humid sometimes. Yeah, right? The Big Red Car likes it sunny and cooooool.
Speaking of cool, The Boss has been enjoying his new venture into CEO coaching with Voomly. Here is a report.

To fix a problem, you must see it first and then you must admit it
Big Red Car here. The Big Red Car is feeling a bit blue these days which is very, very difficult to do for a Big Red Car.
We seem to be overwhelmed with problems but the Big Red Car is deathly afraid we cannot see them and therefore we cannot admit them and therefore we cannot solve them.

Cutting costs is not rocket science — proof
Big Red Car here. Kind of a gray and gloomy day in the ATX but big doings nonetheless.
The President is in Dallas for the opening of the George W Bush President Museum and in Waco for the West explosion memorial. A high point and a low point.
These big happenings sometimes obscure the elegant simplicity of handling day to day affairs — such as doing the normal and mundane things that business folks do all the time — controlling expenditures. Cutting costs.

Organization of the startup and small business
Big Red Car here. Turning out to be a pretty day here in the ATX and why not? Bit of sunshine peeking through after some drizzle yesterday.
Well, the plants and flowers need it, don’t they? They need it for growth. Let’s talk about growth — growing the organization of a startup or small business. Haha, Big Red Car, you are some kind of wag, aren’t you?
