First full day on the job
Friday was the first full day at the new job. One of my coaches took a job on the Operations side of the house so I will be hiring a new coach soon. I spent the day trying to figure out who will be the best person to fill in as an in-charge while I interview and hire. I also spent a majority of the day meeting people saying hi and learning what they do. I am currently reading the book The First 90 Days. It talks about how to make the first 90 days of a new job really count. It has some great information at the beginning about learning the culture and environment of your new job. It has a bunch of great questions to ask those that have been around too. I plan to start having one- on - ones with my direct reports here in the next week. Start developing and building relationships. Friday went so fast it felt like I was at work for 15 minutes.

I'm so happy for you that you got this new job. I think that it will be a great move for your family. We're praying for you guys that your house will sell fast, but it sounds like you may already have some interested buyers.
Wes loves to read sales books, and self-improvement stuff. That's cool that you're trying to make the most of the sometimes akward first couple of months.
