What is Your Chuck E Cheese?

About 6 months ago I installed a pull up bar at the entrance to the stairway of my office.  My simple goal was to be able to crank out 10 pull ups with out stopping; not to impressive I realize but a person has to have a goal.  My 7 year old son, Caleb, immediately gave it a try and was able to crank out 3 in a row.  Later that day I heard him begging, "Mom, can we go to Chuck E Cheese?"  This was pretty persistent throughout the day so we came up with the idea that if he did a thousand pullups, then he could go.  1,000 Mind you!  Caleb immediately sat down and with Cathy's help, produced a bar graph so he could keep track of his progress.  He proceeded to crank out pullups as often as he could get one of us to lift him up to the bar.  Eventually, we got so tired of being begged to be lifted up to the bar that we set a stool next to it so he could get up on his own.  Amazingly he proceeded to do 1,000 pull ups in 4 days; at 7 years old.  That is a real big desire to go to Chuck E Cheese.

This story has been circulated around to many of my friends and colleagues so that people that know the story commonly question - What Is Your Chuck E Cheese?  Have you thought about this?  What is it that motivates you , causes you to aspire to greater things, inspires you to do things that you normally would not have even begun much less accomplished?  Caleb's example struck a chord.  I realized that it is crucial for each of us to learn and understand what our "Chuck E Cheese" is. 

So, if you have read this far, you might be asking, "What the heck does this have to do with Sundog Media and a newsletter for the company?"   My answer is just that I thought I would share a little about some of the "Chuck E Cheeses" I have for this company... what is it that motivates me, what is it that I hope motivates and represents the team members of this company.

Here Goes:

· Being a part of and growing a company that puts family first.

· Producing brilliant work that helps our customers succeed.

· Creating more "LIFE" for everyone who comes in contact with us.

· Constantly learning and stretching my skills and knowledge within my field.

· Building a company that is amazing to work for.

· Working with great clients and growing meaningful relationships.

· And of course...  Who am I kidding?  Earning enough gas money for our boat, the "Sundog".

So, I am about up to 8 pullups in a row now and we have had to raise Caleb to 2000 pull ups per Chuck E Cheese Visit as it was getting too expensive buying the pizza and tokens.  So take a moment and ask yourself.

What is Your Chuck E Cheese??!!!

Cheers,
