The value of setting goals

By Jamie Beckett · November 28, 2023 ·

We all have limits. Each of us has only so much time, so much money, so much patience to put into a given pursuit.

Wheels up the wrong way

By Jamie Beckett · November 14, 2023 ·

From takeoff to landing and even to temporarily storing the airplane on the ramp, that goal should be included in our mission plan. If nothing else, the successful execution of that plan will prevent us from having a humbling conversation with our insurance carrier.
