Our 2nd youngest son Adam is getting married on Sunday – July 26th.

That day also happens to be my birthday, so I’ve been teasing the kids about this, since they starting planning their wedding, over a year ago.

I told them that they need to have two gift tables at the wedding.

One for wedding gifts, and one for Kevin’s birthday gifts.

Who knows, it might be the best birthday I’ve ever had – ha, ha.

But seriously…

This isn’t about me.

Lisa and I have been busier than you can imagine, helping Adam and Teasha get ready for the big day.

And now, here it is, less than two weeks away.

This is an exciting time in their lives, and it’s going to provide them with memories that will last a lifetime.

Lisa hosted Teasha’s bridal shower at our home last Saturday, and though I didn’t stick around for it, I know the girls had a great time.

After the shower, the brides maids had rented a limo, which took them to Safeco Field in Seattle for the Mariners game.

I can’t tell you how gratifying it’s been for Lisa and I to help the kids out with their wedding.

When you look at all the planning that goes into an event like this, it can get overwhelming at times.

Fortunately, Lisa loves doing stuff like this, and the truth is, she’s had a much bigger hand in the wedding planning than I have.

But me…

That’s another story.

I’m not very good at this kind of thing, which is why I rely on Lisa so much.

And though I’m not much of a party planner, I’ve done my best (with the help of Lisa and our oldest son Jerry) and this weekend, we’ll see how our efforts unfold.

This weekend is the guys turn.

This weekend is the big bachelor party.

Come Friday morning, 11 of us guys are heading to Westport, Washington for a weekend of fun, golfing, fishing and relaxation – hopefully in the sun.

And like I said, I don’t have much experience at planning parties like this, so I’ll have to let you know how it went.

The good news is, I have no problem being outside of my comfort zone.

I have no problem trying new things.

I have no problem flying by the seat of my pants at times.

But you can be sure, things weren’t always this way for me.

I used to be one of those guys who had to have all my ducks in a row.

Before I took action on anything, I’d have to do tons of research so I could clearly see the big picture.

Problem is, this stopped me from making progress, especially when it came to business.

By learning to rely on my mentor, who knows far more than me, and trusting what they told me – I no longer needed to see the big picture.

I didn’t need to concern myself with every single detail.

All I had to do was follow their instruction, and take one step at a time.

In so doing, it freed my mind of all the details, because all I had to do was concentrate on the ONE task at hand.

As soon as I completed that task, my mentor would give me the next task.

And let me tell you, that’s when things started happening.

The business started growing like crazy.

I was able to get much more done, and get it done faster.

I was able to help MANY more people.

I had a lot more FUN.

So…

Don’t worry about having all your ducks in a row.

Don’t worry about having all the answers in advance.

All you have to do is find a mentor, do what they tell you to do, and take one step at a time.
