The Impulsive Thinker

Kevin Budzey is a small businessperson that has worked in small companies and large corporate enterprises over the span of 36 years.  He has always known "his place" was to be an owner of a business and put to work his entrepreneurial drive and spirit.  When Kevin was 53, the company he worked for 11 years decided to trim their sales force and let him go along with other senior sales staff.  Within a couple of months COVID began to rage while Kevin was contemplating his next move, and then the phone started ringing.  It seemed only natural to help distributors having a hard time accessing pandemic supplies source them.  His entrepreneurial spirit kicked into gear and a business was born!

André discusses an observation he made of his change in mindset about not getting everything on his list done.  He noticed that he is putting time limits on tasks or must leave times.  He has started to accept everything can't be done because, honestly, the tasks he plans are just too big and not exactly attainable - sound familiar?
