Back to School

I have three children who, after a thrilling summer of Disneyland, swiming and camps are now bored with too much fun and cannot wait to get back to school. My oldest who is nearly 13 is still weighing the benefits of seeing all his school buddies everyday vs the drudgery of homework that comes with going back to school. I think he’s decided since there’s no other way to see some of those friends on a regular basis it’s worth it to do some homework if he has to just to go back to school to see them.

I remember when I was a kid I LOVED getting ready for a new school year. For me then and now for my kids, it means new fall clothes and lots of cool supplies. I loved getting new notebooks full of fresh paper, newly sharpened pencils, and a vibrant set of markers.

Guess what I still love getting ready for a new school year! I also love to learn. I never want to stop. Every year when I start getting my kids ready for the new school year it motivates me to want to get some new tool to increase my own knowledge.

One of my favorite website for business building and motivational knowledge building materials is Brian Tracy’s website. Right now he has a back to school special for us grown ups who want to “go back to school.” You can order anything from his website at a 10% discount.
