What marks success?  I’m not talking about who’s the fastest or makes the most money.  I mean, if you look at the real successes over history, both good and bad, what is the common denominator.  As an entrepreneur I’m constantly studying what makes someone or something successful.  It’s probably one of the most important things I do on a daily basis and for some reason I stumbled across the answer the other day on my Facebook page and didn’t know it, until now.

Take a moment for yourself and think back on the who, what, when, where and how’s that have made the largest, most significant impact in your life.  I would bet the gas in my truck (not as valuable as it was 2 months ago, but still) that I know it’s root.

I couldn’t stand to stay inside today so I set out to discover something, anything, new on highway 44. Charles led the way and off to Rimrock Hwy we went. It’s called Rimrock highway for a reason you know. Both to the south and norther, flashing through the trees are towering limestone ridges and cliffs carved by Rapid Creek over the years.
