I started my blog with the sole emphasis of digging into the mind of a dad who had 2 kids and a wife. Although that was the start, I found myself writing about all kinds of random things. From getting a new gun, to talking about working out. I'm sure both things are something new dads can relate too. One day I woke up and realized I am 34 and needed more of a purpose. The next thing I knew, I was embarked on a journey to becoming and adventure athlete. What I am starting to notice is that my dad blog is veering away from being a dad, and more about fitness and my quest.(There are also quite a few rants thrown in there) With that being said, I decided to start a new blog for that part of my journey. I will continue to post here and write about everyday life and the lessons I am learning watching 2 girls grow up. But there will be a new one to allow my followers to see what I am doing in the fitness world. If I can somehow inspire a new or old dad to step outside and start getting in better shape, then mission accomplished. Check out the new blog at the address below

The World of Business
Now before I start, I gotta write a disclosure. I do not have a BA in business, so my experiences of what I am about to talk about are based off of the world of business I have been in the past 16 years. With that in mind, let me dive into the topic of the day.
Shady Business Practices.
Yep, that's right!!! I recently viewed even more acts of shadiness that I refuse to be a part of. In my company, we sell oilfield products. Now somewhere, one of the owners learned that the more reps you have out there the better it is. Not to mention the fact that they step on each others toes. These same reps come in with all these thoughts of selling millions of dollars a year, but usually fizzle out quickly. Now, as of today, we have 4 reps that actually stock our items on consignment. The reason for this, is to cut down on the overall shipping costs to those areas. We have reps in Colorado, West Virginia, Central Texas, and Louisiana. Being an Operations Manager, I am in charge of keeping up with the inventory levels of these locations. A difficult task as it is, its even worse when you have certain ones who don't keep good records, and don't like to respond to emails or requests for transfers. I have 2 great reps that are on top of everything and very thorough. One in Colorado, and the other in LA. Now I find out that the owner is going to head to LA today to meet with some potential customers. WTF!!! How can you go around your rep and cut him out like that. The LA area is his area, why would you go poach from him. All you are doing is setting him up for failure. And of all the reps, this one is one of the best. It makes me sick to my stomach, and I just can't stand it. These people see dollar signs and will step on whomever to see more of them. You can't have it both ways. One day he is going to get exposed for what he is, and have no business left.
I'm at a point where I am ready to leave all this behind. I wanna go somewhere else that will actually take good care of the people who make them money. People will get what is coming to them. You lean on everyone for what they can do to you and when you screw them over, you will be left standing alone. Broke!!
