• I have the weirdest combinations of shit luck/good luck, as evidenced by the disasters on my road trip to Michigan back in February.
• Be more careful around hot steel. Burns leave nasty scars and the lesson was no exception. On the plus side, as a friend pointed out, there’s positives in putting yourself into your work.
• Finding a house to buy is hard work.
• Moving is even more difficult than buying a house.
• Buying a house is made much easier if you’re married to someone who works in home mortgage and can navigate everything.
• Prep for the trade show months in advance, not weeks.
• It is far easier to be an asshole than it is a decent human being.
Marshall and I learned a lot of those same lessons this year (well, minus the steel burns. Ow.)
Looking forward to hearing about how your business grows!
Happy New Year 🙂
