Keep It Simple
I had a Captain who used to say "if it was easy, someone else would've done it already".
Thats why alot of important things have not been done yet. Its hard. Most seem to go for low hanging fruit type projects.
So don't get discourage.
Its human nature to do what's easy.
That is why it is so important to keep plans simple.
The more complex something is, the less likely it will happen.

Keep plans simple. Its even better if the people who have to perform the plan come up with a plan.
So here's a simple plan.

Boy what a week it has been. It was a busy kelly week. And I learned some valuable lessons. I have decided to take on real estate as a side job. So I'm learning something new which makes me uncomfortable. It tends to also stress me out because there is not enough time in the day to learn everything. I've been reminded on the importance of being patient. A person can only do so much. I've learned that having this new goal has made me excited on overcoming these new obstacles. I've been...
