Little Bit Edgy

My friend Zach Arrington is also my co-worker here at American Money Team. [In addition, he fronts a soulful rock band called Elroy.] He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and he had the wherewithal to capture some poetry during one of our recent, long, pat-yourselves-on-the-back company meetings. I just sat there.

Here are some phrases he jotted down in the order in which they echoed through the room:

Maturing as an organization

The long term

A New Alliance

The middle phase

It’s a big priority

Tools and resources

Current value proposition

Prepare ourselves for the future

A victim of our own success

It’s a great opportunity

5% ahead of plan

The money we make on the money

The volatility of the market

Free T-shirt

How do we get the next billion?

Rough parameters

These guys are proactively making calls

Leaders within the distribution

A good sense of humor

Trillions and trillions of dollars

We’re gonna be different

Niche strategies

Deliver on those promises

A little bit edgy

Retiring baby boomers

Collective feedback

We had that word “progress…”

270 Day Tech Blast

Adoption and Integration and Optimization

“You’re crazy - No!”

Cookies and Kool-Aid session

The heart of our operations

Broad and complex initiatives

A smart plan

There is always change

Thanks, Zach!

Discontent is the first necessity of progress.
Thomas A. Edison
