MouseSquad-Fun&Great-2011-12

It takes most people a long time to learn how to have fun at the same time that they reach for greatness. This year I want us all to focus on consciously working to be awesome in a way that is fun for all of us. These are some things that I’ll be looking for this year as signs that we are focused on our over arching goal... the good news is that the signs are irrelevant; we’ll feel it if we’re succeeding.
