Don’t Worry, Be Happy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A song never imparted so much business wisdom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the family in to one of my company\u2019s 10th year anniversary this Saturday; it\u2019s a big milestone and we are celebrating with a fancy banquette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dallas Maids was the first company I started and grew to become the, BEST maid service in Dallas.<\/a> Maybe I\u2019m biased\u2026 but Dallas Maids is the most award-winning company and these awards are genuine, based on merit, not paid for like some awards are. tsk. tsk. on those companies that buy awards or claim awards they have not won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I\u2019m also remodeling an old house in a neighborhood my wife and I are excited to be moving into. It\u2019s crunch time and lots of things to do. I so should not be wasting time on writing this post but I felt this is something you fellas should know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T WORRY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Worrying is paralyzing. It will stop you before you even start. Being afraid to make the jump in and do a business or about the \u201cobstacles\u201d that may pop up\u2026 is not conducive to getting things done. When my parents arrived, they barraged me with tons of questions about how will I move in if this or that isn’t done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it finishing up the house in time for the move this Sunday or worrying about how much the movers will charge me or about not ordering the appliances yet\u2026 Too much worry. I got it under control because I\u2019m spending time worrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love my parents. They still live in the house I grew up in and after 44 years of marriage still have great chemistry between them. I\u2019m lucky to have them and being parents they naturally want the best for me. So of course they are worried about this crunch time I\u2019m going through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And worrying is something I do less after running businesses. It\u2019s best to use that time to figure out a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m grateful that I don\u2019t worry as much as I once did. It is not only unproductive, it\u2019s emotionally draining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, don\u2019t worry and you\u2019ll find happiness through your hard, smart work. Focus on the solutions because there are always solutions, usually more than one so it\u2019s just placing your efforts to find the best solution. As you find yourself worrying less and becoming more successful, you\u2019ll find issues that may have bothered you in the past will fade away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when starting out I totaled the first car I ever bought. It was a new mustang convertible which I had paid off. That meant that I didn\u2019t have the insurance to replace it. Even with the lost car and lost money, I realized something then: It didn\u2019t bother me. I was happy with that realization that everything was going to be ok and just get better. It\u2019s nice to be worry-free. Your life will be much better for it! So\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BE HAPPY!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
