Open Market Experience in Mashpee
I haven’t driven down to the Cape in years even though I only live an hour north. Last Friday, Liz and I drove down to the Mashpee Commons to sell Take on Life T-shirts at the open market. It was a good time and I learned a lot about selling at these types of markets. We even managed to stay dry, although the wind was our greatest enemy (npvemwtufs).

What does taking on life mean to you?
First, I’d like to thank everyone for their support. To show my appreciation and have a little fun I have decided to launch a little contest.
For me, the meaning of Take on Life is personal and the belief that no matter what lemons life deals us there is always opportunity. We all have challenges in life, whether they are challenges to living or hurdles keeping us from reaching our dreams.
I’m taking on life by starting this business, sailing, and living every day to its fullest with friends and family.

Getting the Unexpected
Since launching the Take on Life website I have learned many new things. I would like to share with you an interesting tidbit that I realized the other day.

It’s a film festival. I get it. Filmmakers are there to promote their masterpieces. Friday night was opening night. The film session that night was followed by a party at Vinalia. I struck up conversations with many people and everyone talked about why they were at the event. Some were filmmakers, producers, and actors, while others were there to support their chosen film.

Life is a Business
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “life is what you make of it.” If you don’t put anything in and make an investment you shouldn’t expect much out. There’s more in common between you and big business than you might think.
It’s 2009 and many people are learning what it’s like to live in a depression for the first time. First it started with bad practices in the financial sector and soon it spread like wildfire as companies who banked on the ability to get credit fell under. The crisis continues as the unemployment rate is now reaching levels not seen since the Great Depression and the stock market has lost half of its value in under a year.
