Hello World....1st Entry
Who Am I?
Hi, My name is Travis, and I'm your average Midwestern, Car Wash Director of Operations, disc golfing, sports enthusiast, a bit too lazy, netflix binging, kayak loving, religion studying, nonfiction book reading, history loving, storm chasing guy.
You're probably not swiping right after that word vomit of an introduction. So it's a good thing this isn't Tinder.
I'm 29 and somehow hold the reigns to a tunnel car wash business. I really don't like it when people are defined by their job that they have...but in all honesty, my job is a huge part of my life. I hit a home run, after striking out a few times, with my current job, and I hope to grow and help grow the company I'm with.
I'll never be able to make it in the rap game because I had it too good growing up. I come from a 6 member conservative Christian, loving, Top 10 All Time Family. Most of who/what I am now is testament to them.
The reason I decided to start this blog (on the cusp of turning 30 when most young girls like me start their diaries) is because:
- When I eventually pass away, someone may stumble across this and my writings may become the next "Meditations of Marcus Aurelius".
- Doesn't everyone think they have something profound to say? Well, now I can find out that I was wrong.
- I really just wanted a place to think and process and write. Maybe I'll grow from this... or maybe what I write here will be one of "the most insanely idiotic things you'll ever hear." Maybe "At no point in my rambling, incoherent response will I even be close to anything that could be considered a rational thought." And Maybe "Everyone is now dumber for having listened to it."
Guess you'll have to read on and judge for yourself....good luck.
Gauges of life
Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
