An interview with Brandi Lewis

Brandi is a mother of ten and an air force vet. She runs a tight and orderly home. Her training in the military, corporate America, and "Character Counts" led her to success in her home. She discovered that home, family, and house work are just like running a business. She put her skills to work in the home and discovered she had a lot more time when she implemented her system.

In this podcast you will learn:

- a manager manages the details of one department
Obligation vs. opportunity
Balancing all areas of life vs. giving equal time to all areas of life
Desire vs. Goal
- Goal is job you are doing to accomplish a desired result
- Sometimes our desire to be lazy and not do the goal is bigger than the goal,
What are the assets in the home? Relationships, Time, Resources - protect them
The product of the home is people - responsible citizens
