They say 'if you can survive a reno you can survive anything'.

I'm lucky my husband leaves aesthetics to me although like yours will put his foot down regarding sheds and storage.

I think our biggest disagreements have been about levels .

Things have got to 'look' straight to me. If they don't I can really harp on.

I still think our verandah and fence is crooked and have accused my poor husband of having faulty levels and plotting with his friends to have them say 'it looks level to me'.

 

[our obsession]

-We usually know WHAT we do...

-Some know HOW we do it..

-But, do we know WHY?

why this passion to invest and what drives it?

In 2009, Simon Sinek released the book "Start With Why" -- a synopsis of the theory he has begun using to teach others how to become effective leaders and inspire change.

.Why you should listen to him:

.Beginning as a student in anthropology, Simon Sinek turned his fascination with people into a career of convincing people to do what inspires them. His earliest work was in advertising, moving on to start Sinek Partners in 2002, but he suddenly lost his passion despite earning solid income. Through his struggle to rediscover his excitement about life and work, he made some profound realizations and began his helping his friends and their friends to find their “why” -----

Sinek also contributes to several efforts in the non-profit sphere: He works with Count Me In, an organization created to help one million women-run businesses reach a million dollars in revenue by 2012, and serves on the Board of Directors for Danspace Project, which advances art and dance. He writes and comments regularly for several major publications and teaches a graduate-level class in strategic communications at Columbia University.

"I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others. "

If a man expresses an opinion in a forest and there is no woman there to hear him - is he still wrong?

I'm fairly sure we're always wrong regardless, simon
