It's just starting to warm up in the Midwest. Only 45 days till golf season here and I can't wait. Golf with friends is such a great release. It's outside in the sun and longer than a movie in a dark building.
As we enter a new world with a troubled economy that many of us have not seen in our lifetime, it it important to keep a positive attitude. I set goals and work toward them. That helps keep me focused and on track. Another thing we work on at HRB now is delegation of responsibility to employees who can take on a challenge and run with it. Trusting others to help build the company also makes it stronger. Their involvement, ideas and energy make us better every day.
Even in an economy with 8 percent unemployment, that means that more than 90 percent are still employed. There are a lot of companies doing well now and the key is finding them and building a relationship.
