Here's some recommended reading to either wrap up your week, or kick off your weekend.
Let's start things off with a blog I published this week on my own website:
My Friday FOUR:
Four pieces of content I've consumed this past week that will influence my future blog material and challenge me to think differently about how I manage Cressey Sports Performance - as always, I'm looking to bring you some business-specific information from outside of the world of fitness. Enjoy:
- Random Thoughts on Long-Term Fitness Industry Success – Installment 12 - There are three important takeaways in this blog from my business partner, Eric Cressey. More specifically, there are the two lessons he shares, and also the lesson that even old dogs can be taught new tricks, as it is bordering on
mind-blowing to me that he is now at peace with the second tip in this post.
- The Most Forgotten Tax Deductions Business Owners Should Take - I'm sure I've said it here before, but this one bears repeating -- It is never too early to start thinking tax-prep. Give this article an extremely close read if you make a habit of handling your own taxes. If you've already got a great
accountant, it wouldn't hurt to send this one his or her way and confirm that you've covered all your basis on the deductions shared in the article.
- How Prioritizing My Passion Outside of Work Made Me a Better Colleague and Leader - Almost ten years ago I began to realize that working 6+ days/week building a business was leading me to build my entire social life outside of the gym around my colleagues and clients. I
was on the fast-track to burnout, as every conversation I had, during every waking hour, had something to do with my business. I needed an avenue through which I could explore different social dynamics, and that ended up being the weekly recreational soccer league I decided to join. I've been going ever since, and many of the lessons I've learned along the way were reflected in this FastCompany article.
- Are New Graduates Happier Making More Money or Having More Time? - My average employee is 1-2 years out of college, and effectively at the exact same stage in life as the 1,000+ recent graduates questioned for this study. The overall finding closely matched the attitudes of my colleagues. I wont ruin it for
you, so you've got to read it for yourself to see if you agree.
Make sure to let me know if you come across any material that you think I'd enjoy. More importantly, have a great weekend.
- Pete
