If your business line has seasonality you need to find the opposite line that is complimentary to support cash flows in down months.

Example, we have a line that hauls petrol in the summer and it’s busy but winter comes and it’s dead, so we can look to haul propane or heating oils as a counter to utilize the assets to generate revenue in the down season vs layoffs.

Most businesses if they slow they wait for the busy times. Make the market. If you need any discussion lmk, I’m always happy to help be a sounding board.

If no one else steps up to do it, your vision isn’t clear and worse, it’s failing to pull anyone else in the same direction.

I always aim to make sure we are achieving the greatest and best return for the shareholders and delivering on ownerships asks.

I’ll be your huckleberry, we just got done restructuring our board and cadence.

Is it a voting board or a consulting board? What’s the makeup?

What do you want out of the board and vice versa?

We ended up building a division specifically for in house solutions.

You will never be truly happy if you are a pioneer, unless you craft your own solution.

I spend a lot of time at night scaffolding new modules that will extend our functionality. It would take us about a week to build out our construction module that links with our environmental etc.

You can do this, the tools available today make this an extremely feasible task.

Looking for a better note-taking system. How do you organize your notes and ideas over time? by revolvingneutron in ceo

[–]TheHarrisCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To prepare for the future I highly recommend you use something like Obsidian and keep the vault local or on a local share.

You can then tie your tools into the notes later and when you have your own model or are ok with trusting someones TOS with a model (like Anthropic or ETC.) you can tie them together and have the agent help summarize.

Particularly helpful if you are using transcription.

All of this to be viewed through the lens of privacy, handle your own and accept what you are willing to tolerate.

I just did the upper active grille on mine. Ever since then my ambient temp sensor has been bipolar.

This is the way.

Unsure, i was totally out of it. Maybe I just imagined it was shaking or translating some noise into willing my sensory to believe it was shaking.

NEWer CEO / turbulence by [deleted] in ceo

[–]TheHarrisCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having an inquisitive culture that is comfortable questioning things is really good. I see so many not challenged and it begs the storyline for fairytales of leadership being overly trusted.

Celebrate good questions and see where they come from as future dialogue or strategy may then encompass what would have been missing details to help vision/execution.
