So Amy and I are celebrating our seventh anniversary this week. And I can remember our first date like it was yesterday. It was game five of the Arizona Diamondbacks Milwaukee brewers series, and man, was I excited for the game. That is. You see, throughout the nine innings, I barely spoke a word. Even though Amy tried to engage in conversation. I wasn't interested because I was too locked in on the game. I didn't even realize that I was on my first date. And I almost lost out on a chance on a second date because I was focused on the wrong thing. Now, in your business, there's a chance your healthcare budget is coming due this fourth quarter. Where are you putting your attention? Where are you putting your focus? Because your employees and your bottom line depend on it. So this fourth quarter, don't make the same mistake I almost made on my first date. And focus your attention on how you're going to create a world class health experience for your employees for less money. Until next time, bear down, focus on the target and strike out the status quo.
