The old Bic lighter. You’ve seen one. I’m actually holding one in my hand right now. It’s basically the same simple piece of equipment that’s been around for decades. Why? Because it works.

There are less than 100 days left. That was the thought that hit me as I was flying home this week. It was early. Sunrise coming up. I’d left around 5 a.m., driving past the palm trees, knowing that when I landed back in New York, we were officially in that final stretch. Less than 100 days.

This is a tough one. It’s a conversation that has come up more than once at our CEO Mastermind dinners. A business owner is deeply passionate about what he’s building. He’s working long hours. He’s thinking about the business when he’s sitting in the living room. He’s thinking about opportunities while he’s on the beach. He’s at a barbecue, but his mind isn’t really on the game, somebody’s retirement plan, or the kids’ soccer schedule. It’s on the business.
