First... and not last...

Hello-Hello!  So I've started blogging again, and it comes at somewhat a surprise to me.  I had ended my previous blog due to busyness, and the thinking that "hey, Facebook is pretty cool, I don't need to post on my own anymore". I did that for a while, (and still do), but have had a different opinion slowly simmering over the last few years, courtesy of my good friend Azin.  He founded a great company whose goal in business is to provide "Solutions for Great Causes", and when we spoke a few years ago (has it been that long?), I didn't think it was something I wanted to do.  Then, after getting through only half (so far) of Linchpin, by Seth Godin, I had a major change of heart.

A good portion of my day consists of driving from one place to another, to see my accounts.  More often or not, this provides ample time to reflect on whatever I've listened to or experienced in the recent past.  I have a tremendous desire to help people, encourage, motivate, and feel particularly called to the business-set who could (with help, mine preferably) improve in some way or another.  I've had extensive experience with the DiSC personality profile system, Grip-Birkman Blueprint, and other assessments, and through those different tools have helped others to change for the better in how they do things.

I started a business a few years ago that dealt with the sales aspect of business, and it's been doing OK, bills are getting paid, life goes on. Phero Sales Group provides representation and distribution service to various clients in the automotive industry.  With all the experiences I've had since that initial start-up, or you could say "with this realization of my 'life-passion' or 'purpose'" I've launched another branch of my business: Phero Consulting Group.

This is the slow expanse of that "consulting" into the web-o-sphere, a personal blog from me, Ethan, and occasionally guest-posts from my colleagues that I work with, and cherish as good friends.  I pray you find something encouraging or motivating as you read the posts.  I cannot promise this to be a daily-deal, there are other "skillets" that need attending on the "stove", but I do hope (God willing) to relate one or two thoughts a week (at least) in this blog.

Thank you for your attention, and stay tuned, you might just appreciate what you read!
