Brat Worship

I will be sharing interesting quotes from my readings and school experience.

From the guy who brought you the Johnsonville Brat, talking about the changes he implemented in his business to encourage the employees take responsibility for the business.

A grand plan was impossible, there were too many variables. I wasn’t certain which system to change; I just knew I had to change something in order to alter expectations and begin moving toward my goal.

In life or in business we often trick ourselves in to feeling in control, but there are always too many variables. Sometimes you just need to tinker until you put the variables in balance.

Frying My Brain on MBA Essays

I am on my n-teenth MBA essay today, and my brain is freakin in an infinite loop. I am learning to like writing, aka this blog, but it still doesn’t come naturally to me. Furthermore writing about yourself is difficult, there is no topic I find harder to think about then myself.

Good news is I think this exercise is healthy. Healthy like a colonoscopy is healthy, but healthy nonetheless.

Back to work, back to writing why I kick ass. Try it, in the end it feels pretty good.
