Well at least it used to be.
It doesn’t really snow in Seattle. When it does several things happen. First, it’s usually a inch or so. Second, it’s typically gone by noon. Third, no one bothers to remove it—no equipment anyway. Nonetheless, the schools all shut down and the drivers can’t keep their cars on the road.
It’s been differently the last several years. Much more snow and the much colder weather keeps it around a while.
I have just returned from a week in Peru checking on my real estate investments, conducting due diligence and assisting my client Grupo Innova.
Grupo Innova develops residential and commercial properties for sale to Peruvian individuals and their businesses.
The majority of properties being developed were large private residences. Their families have largely moved on in their lives and the properties are much too large for the remaining family. This trip I had the opportunity to visit with two of these owners. My client is considering transactions with them.
I’ll tell you a bit of the human side of it.
Steven M. R. Covey is Steven R. Covey’s son. They are both in the personal development field, but not in the same firm. This was all news to me when I first met them.
Steven M. R. Covey has written a new book, The Speed of Trust. I have not yet read it, but did have a chance to listen to him cover the key concepts in about an hour presentation.
I have thought a lot about what he had to say in the intervening months and the more time passes the more I like the ideas.
