Look at any one product around you and we can trace it being there to the collective effort of thousands of hands and minds or more.
We all rely on each other.
We need you.

Good Morning, Larry! I know I need to find clarity and evaluate where I am going into 2022, figure out a path, and make a plan to get me down that path. I’m confident and positive about how things will go when I follow through.
Canada says hey back!!!!! Wishing you, your family and entire Network a very happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year wishes from Saskatchewan Canada… home of a -38C degree deepfreeze today. Where BRRRRRRRRR gets turned into BRRRRRRAAAAAAP on snowmobiles! Just go with it.

Being sure footed is the best way to confidently take a leap! What I mean by that is, having a plan helps with the insecurities and nets better results. Thank you Larry for reminding us to go outside the comfort zone!
Trying new things and embracing the unknown are the best way to advance yourself, not just move forward through life. I believe there is a clear difference between the two.

May there be warm light in your home.
Merry Christmas Larry! In the community I live in there were more Christmas decorations than ever before. I’m glad to see that people are embracing the season again. Merry Christmas everyone! Christmas is also my birthday. I enjoy the good of both days on the same day! How fortunate is that? Sending Love to you all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS LARRY!! I’ve been having trouble again with think daily being caught in my barracuda trap. How annoying! Anyway, I think I missed an engagement announcement?? BIG CONGRATS to you and Marie! Happy New Year too!
Happy holidays and cheers to a healthy year.
I love this! Christmas is about presence.
Merry Christmas, Larry!
Merry Christmas, Larry and a Happy and Healthy 2022!
Love you Larry! Stay well and keep on spreading your experience and knowledge with others. And come visit me!
Happy New Year! Looking forward to meeting you next week at the Basement Systems of WV office.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Hope you and the family are enjoying this holiday season. Can’t wait to see you in the new year!

From the invisible…
I was listening to an interview with Kyle Maynard who was born with only half of his arms and legs (arms ended at the elbow and his legs ended at the knee; no hands or feet). When he was young his parents put him on the wrestling team. Yes, the wrestling team.
He lost every match for a year and a half. Some adults were saying it was borderline child abuse. But in his senior year Kyle was undefeated and today he is in the wrestling Hall of Fame. Wow.
Kyle said that some kids made fun of his handicap – they could see it – it was so obvious. But many people have handicaps you can’t see – they don’t believe in themselves, they think negatively, they identify as victims in one or more areas of life, or they fail to learn good useful things each day and put mental junk in instead.
From the inner – comes the outer.
This is why you and I need to work on us as much or more than we work on anything outside us.
From the invisible – the visible.
Merry Christmas to all at “ Contractor Nation!” Larry, SOE really changed Maryanne and my way of thinking. I’m so grateful to have found you. I’ll never forget you saying at class , “ you have to do the work!” I was mad! I’m thinking, heck, I can’t work any harder! That’s why I’m here! Then you said, “ the right work!” Wow…. Maryanne and I finally started to understand our problem with our business! Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Give thanks for those that made this world possible
“Live honestly and honorably within the limits and to the limits of your own ability – and give thanks to the men and women whose greater ability has made such a magnificent world possible for you.” – Ayn Rand
I am talented, and so are you. But together you and I could not have created this easy, fascinating, safe, and wonderful world by ourselves. Just the computer you are reading this on…I mean, holy smokes!
Let us strive to make our life count by using what we have been given to make the world even better, and give thanks for those who have come before us, with less than we have and in very different circumstances, who made our current life possible.
Great message and important for us all. I like the Ayn Rand quote. I’m reading “Atlas Shrugged” now. It is a great read. Who is John Galt?
Well said Larry!!
I’m constantly in wonder and marvel at the drive, innovation and steadfastness of those humans who make things better for the rest of us!
Larry
I have been receiving your think daily’s since you started and have been inspired and energized by many of your comments. I have never commented, but came across something I wanted to share.
This past week I was sadly at a double funeral for my brother in law’s parents who passed away only 3 days apart. His dad was an Army vet and his younger brother, who gave the eulogy was a Navy vet. He was sharing wonderful memories of his brother and spoke about a saying they had in the Navy, “How did you live your dash?” He pulled out the Mass card and was referring to the dash on the card between your birth date and death date and how you spent all of that time in between. He went on to talk about Honor, Valor, and love of country. Fitting for a fallen veteran, but also fitting for everyone. It was so simple but really struck me.
I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you for all the inspiration

Why inflation is a bad thing
In the last 12 months, inflation has gone up by 10%. This is the highest number in many decades. But many things have gone up more than that; houses by 17%, gasoline, etc.
When inflation goes up, the buying power of your money goes down. People that have money saved, have lost 10% of that money’s value. People that don’t have a home and want to buy one, find it less affordable.
Here are some comments by Steve Forbes commenting on a book by Nathan Lewis –
“Why is monetary policy so fundamentally important?
A modern economy is ultimately “a vast network of cooperation”…in which hardly anything is created without combining goods, services and labor and capital from all over the world…The network of cooperation is organized through the use of money, with information transmitted via prices, interest rates, and profit and loss. These seemingly simple bits of information direct all economic activity.
Unstable currencies are like viruses in your computer – they corrupt those bits of information.
Everyone understands the basic need for fixed weights and measures in daily life – number of ounces in a pound, minutes in an hour; just as we use money to measure the value of products and services. If the measuring stick itself becomes unstable the smooth functioning of an economy is disrupted just as our lives would be if the number of minutes in an hour constantly fluctuated.”
Imagine 10% inflation year over year? In 7.2 years prices would double. In 14.4 years, prices would quadruple.
We should all care about inflation and pay attention to who and how it is being caused.
If there is a winner from inflation it is those who have debt and are paying interest rates lower than the rate of inflation. Perhaps that is what is driving government’s fiscal policy.
As long as the government is in control of something like our money, can it be efficient? Can it be controlled correctly?
I’m beginning to see more decentralized products (cryptocurrency, but others as well) and definitely have an interest in learning more.
Amen

Hello,
My name is Emma, Content Writer and Outreach Manager at Post Market Publishing / Outreach Master.
I expect you receive load of emails, every day from companies promising the world and telling you why
they are the best.
When it comes to our Media Placement and Link Building/Guest Post offering, our strategy is slightly
different. Focussing on three key pillars: Building Trust, Authority and Relevance with our clients via
our outreach campaigns, we are proud that the results we are able to deliver speak for themselves.
If you have ever used an agency for your Guest Post Link Building, I would love you to give us a try and
compare our offering and service against your current strategy. You can then measure our results and
the performance of our campaigns for yourself.
Please let me know if you are interested, or have any aditional questions.
Best regards,
Emma Miller
Content Writer and Outreach Manager
Outreach Masters
Congratulations Larry and Marie, wishing you both the very best.

Today I’m relearning the value of how to conduct a good leadership team meeting. Having quality leaders that can take their teams to the next level is a focus of mine every day. It’s different these days in the management world, what worked last year will not continue to work in the years to come! We all change, it’s natural! Change or get left behind……
Today I’m learning negotiation on MasterClass. The videos on MasterClass are short and can be watched during a lunch break!
