We all struggle with waisting time from time to time. 
We hope that today you are encouraged to make good use of the time that you have been given. We are all given the same amount of time each day, but how we use it will say a lot. An hour wasted today is an hour lost forever. An hour spent today will reap a benefit today. An hour invested today will bring results for days and probably years to come. 

Don't wait for inspiration: be the inspiration for others.
Don't do everything yourself: include others to be part of your team.
Don't worry what people will say: say the words of encouragement others need.
Stop waiting to live life: start sharing the wonder of life.
Don't be afraid: trust in God
Don't complain: compliment someone instead.
Don't leave unfinished tasks: Never put off till tomorrow what you should do today.
Don't try to please everybody: seek to do what pleases God.
Don't compare yourself (to others or even yourself): rather press on and improve.
Don't repeat the same mistakes: Teach others and yourself from your mistakes. 
Don't strive for perfectionism: Strive to be all you can be, while thinking of others more highly than yourself.
Don't wander aimlessly: set goals, create a plan. enact the plan, and reach out for the goal.

We are all to prone to see, where others are without considering the journey they took to get where they are.  None of us may have the level of business success that Bezos did, but we should not look at  his success and give up on our own. Whatever it is that you do wether online or off, we hope you ask yourself if it is good and right, and if it is we hope you go out and are successful at it.

Success

Sometimes, we feel like giving up. It seems like we put a lot of effort in and never succeed, but maybe if we were to take a step back: we would see that we are having a series of small wins. Even if we can't, we might need to remember to view "failure" in the light of a lesson learned. Shortly before He invented his light bulb, Thomas Edison is attributed to saying "I have not failed; I have discovered 1,000 ways not to make a light bulb." We want to encourage you today to not give up. The only way to surely fail is to never try or to stop trying. You may need a new approach, or a slight modification to your plan or goal; but do not give up on any worthwhile goal.

Markups and Gluten-Free

I learned about a year ago that due to a rare genetic disorder I have that it would be best for me to be on a gluten free diet. There are other restrictions of course too, but this is one that more people are familiar with. At the time that I was diagnosed I was managing a community owned grocery store, so I had some first hand knowledge of how markups worked and what they were. Even before I was diagnosed it bothered me that a box of regular pasta would have a suggested mark-up of 20-35%, but the already more expensive gluten-free pasta would have a suggested mark-up of  55-80%. I realize that some people are on gluten-free as a fad, but there are some of us who really need to be gluten-free. It seemed immoral to me that just being gluten-free meant the wholesaler was suggesting that we have a higher mark-up. With approval from our community board I lowered markups on diet-specialty items to be inline with more mainstream groceries. This belief in fair and just pricing is someth...
