  What will I leave behind from 2009?

  It has been a tradition for Lisa and I to sit and set goals for the new year on New Years Eve. We have done this for years and have most of them saved in a file. But this year is different…

  Our Pastor, Steven Furtick at Elevation Church posted a tweet indicating that he and his wife were listing the things they would “leave behind” from the past year. This one tweet has started a series of tweets on the items he is leaving behind which in turn got me thinking about my 2009. 2009 has been a year of great turmoil, disappointment, hurt, excitement and hope…all wrapped up in a 12 month period. So I have decied to not set “resolutions” for 2010, but rather list out the things I plan to leave behind from 2009 (and even further back in some cases)

  Decision Making

  All of us must make decisions…it is inevitable. We decide to stay fit or to make certain purchases or to make a decision that is going to impact our lives and those around us. Like taxes and death, making decisions are are part of life….even a decision to not make a decision is a decision (that was a mouthful).

  I was with another Christian Businessman last week who gave me the following from a business leaders group that he attends. This is some great stuff.

  How to get started with a Facilities Management program

  Over the past several weeks, I have had a number of people approach me with the question,”How do we get started with a Facilities Management program?” My guess is that there are many of you out there asking the same question…or possibly trying to re-evaluate your current FM program, process and staffing.

  Those who have asked this of me have been looking for guidance in a couple of areas…the ones that seem to be the most common are:

  1. How much should we budget for FM?
  2. Same for utilities?
  3. How do we staff for our current or new facility? (I have heard this a lot from people in the midst of a building project)
