The StretchDollar team had two birthdays this week (hbd Kaiza Molina and Lauren O’Leary!!!) and we're coming up on our own as a company. Here's a few lessons I've learned from the fastest year of my life - my first as a founder: 1. "Repetition has never spoiled a prayer." Being a broken record is a good thing when it comes to the mission and vision of what you're building. 2. It's your job to find the joy in the process of building. It'll be infectious. 3. Strategy is way less important than execution. 4. People want you to win. They'll help you. Pay it forward when you can. 5. Your first customers will teach you more in a day than you'll learn in a month on your own. 6. Learn to be present. 50% of your attention is worth 0% of your time. 7. The right team pointed at the right problem is most of the job. 8. Some moments require flexibility, others rigidity. Practice being able to spot which is which. 9. Establish your company as a c-corp based in Delaware.

I can't express strongly enough how important Jesse Cole's mantra of Fans First should be incorporated in how we interact with donors and how admissions should interact with prospective students and families in the private educational sector. You may have the best glossy brochures or produced videos, but they all fall short on the personal interactions you have with your donors and families. These interactions are game changers. They are the difference between getting a gift or having a student enroll in your school. The student ambassador who connects with a child during a visit to campus or taking the time to have coffee with a new parent and sharing personally the incredible impact giving has on your school - moves mountains. If you haven't taken a moment to check out Fans First or check out the Savanah Bananas - you should make it your summer reading. It's a game changer.

Allow us to introduce Marcia Lopisi, a cherished member of the Mark IV Transportation family since May 2017. Her favorite aspect of working with Mark IV is the warm, familial atmosphere that makes every day enjoyable. When it comes to her career, Marcia believes her proudest moment is yet to come, leaving room for future accomplishments. What might surprise many is that she attended a one-room county schoolhouse in the heart of Nebraska, where just 16 kids shared the same classroom from kindergarten to sixth grade, a truly unique educational experience. If given a superpower, Marcia would choose the ability to turn back time, a power that could reshape any moment in history. She aptly describes the culture at Mark IV as an extended family, emphasizing the close-knit bonds among colleagues. Outside of work, Marcia finds joy in spending time with her kids and husband, tending to her garden, and enjoying the company of her dogs. Her journey into the industry was serendipitous, as she stumbled upon it while responding to an ad for an Inbound Operations Manager at Ford Auto in 2003. Prior to that, she was busy training new managers at Panera Bread. One of the items on Marcia's bucket list is to visit Israel, an adventure she looks forward to in the future. Lastly, if she could offer advice to her younger self, it would be to stop second-guessing and trust her instincts. #MeetMarcia #MarkIVFamily #FutureAchievements #UniqueBackground #TimeTravelWish #BucketListDreams #LifeAdvice

Incredible video from Jesse Cole from the Savannah Bananas at Fenway Park talking about seizing the opportunity, slowing things down and giving the fans their moment! Although this is about baseball and showmanship, I cannot help but relate to how this simple theory of slowing down, being in the moment and personalizing the moment matters in healthcare. And as we embark on the new Medicare GUIDE model for Alzheimer's and dementia care, the aspect of personalizing care and slowing down will become even more important. At PocketRN, we believe that nurse lead care is the key to driving ongoing, sustainable outcomes because nurses are the changemaker's, the empathetic people who relate, listen and care. Nurses personalize care delivery by focusing on things that matter to the patient. The things that a patient can relate to, and the needed motivation patients and their caregivers need to be involved! So, even though this video is about baseball, it is also about slowing down and being impactful! Cheers to all the nurses, athletes, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals and good humans out there who are making a difference and personalizing experiences, one person at a time.

Coaching is just the same..

"Focus on one fan at a time, everything else would take care of itself." - Jesse Cole It's easy for you to get lost in the bigness of your problems at work and in life, but slow things down... take extra time, look people in the eye, embrace the moment as an opportunity and you will make a difference, create an experience, leave an impact. Take 3 minutes and listen to the secret sauce behind creating a "Fans First" experience the Savannah Bananas have used to change the game and build a passionate fanbase around the world. #leadership #culture #coaching #employeeengagement #employeeexperience
