Thanks Chris,

Your article was very timely and given your experience with Military.com, it spoke directly the key issue. A coach once told me that life is like a football game, rarely is it staying the same. It is either getting better or it is getting worse. Even if it is just a yard or two every day or every week. whether you are gaining or losing you are generating a result but one thing for sure, you better be paying attention. A little bit over time not measured will equate to a huge result either way.

I work with Traumatized Veterans and their immediate and extended families to help through the trials of homecoming. The only thing that matters are the outcomes. Are things getting better?. Are they drinking less, sleeping more, relating to their families better?

We are not professional visitors, either go big or go home.

[...] Outcomes vs. Activity Many people often confuse busy work with valuable work. Just because you’re busy it doesn’t mean you’re creating value. For example organizing your emails is generally considered busy work as it doesn’t really create value. It helps, but it doesn’t create value. Here the author argues that all company founders have to learn and understand the differences between what’s busy work and what’s not. [...]
