Today, I have something very important to discuss, and that is the subject of motivation. Where does motivation come from when we're feeling unmotivated? How can we flip a switch to then feel more motivated? If our staff is unmotivated, what do we do to help them be more motivated to motivate them? And it's an interesting subject because I just came out of a staff meeting where I, you know, going around the table, a bunch of people that I care for a lot. And we're discussing this subject.

Today, I want to talk about your habits. Now, we know that habits are the things that we do without thinking about them and if we have a set of good habits, then it sets us up to produce good results without even thinking about it.

Now, what is the yellow pencil principle? It goes something like this. If you needed a pencil and you had to write something, I said, "Here, pick a pencil." Well, which pencil would you choose?
