🗽We hope everyone enjoys a safe and festive holiday with family and friends as we celebrate this great nation. Of course, it wouldn't be the 4th without fireworks, BBQ, and some fun and patriotic supply chain facts. 🎆 Here’s how supply chains keep the party going across the US: 🎇 Fireworks Distribution: The American Pyrotechnics Association estimates there are 14,000 firework displays totaling over 260 million pounds of commercial fireworks and sales of over $750 million annually by the public. From imports to safe delivery, the timely transportation of this explosive hazmat is a supply chain feat. 🌭 Food and Beverage Supply Chain: BBQs and picnics wouldn’t be the same without the efforts of farmers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Cheers to the supply chain heroes who get those hot dogs, buns, chips, and drinks to our tables. 🎉 Parade Logistics: Parades and public events are a joy to experience, made possible by meticulous planning and transportation of floats, banners, and sound systems. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and logistically smooth 4th of July! #4thofJuly #Logistics #SupplyChain #IndependenceDay #Celebration

Happy 4th of July, everyone! How are you celebrating today? Fireworks, BBQ, or maybe a relaxing day with family and friends? Here’s to liberty and justice – for all! Olivia 💙 #IndependenceDay #OliviaLockWood #OpenUpCoaching #SalesStrategy #SalesSuccess #SalesCoaching

I can’t get enough of what Jesse Cole is saying about his journey creating and improving the Savannah Bananas fan experience. His perspective – If you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough. Be fearless. My perspective – He owns his mistakes as a leader, as a business owner, as a person and learns and grows from his mistakes. We’re human. We make mistakes. It’s not about the mistakes. It’s how you own the mistake, learn, correct, be better from your mistakes. I’ve been following Jesse from a business perspective and the story and journey is fascinating. Jesse is compelled to make the customer experience the best he possibly can. Then improve on it. Jesse is playing the long-game. I contacted what was a small local business that sold to a bigger company (in North Carolina) and shared my experiences. Purpose – I WAS doing business with them frequently until their quality plummeted. They were charging for services they were not providing and they knew it. I asked the employees and they told me (the services provided required equipment) the equipment had not worked for months. So, I asked, why do you keep upselling for services you aren’t providing? Response – We are required to by corporate. Front line gal/guy and not going to bust their chops for… well, fraud. I emailed corporate. Summary of the response – Sorry about that. What I expected, maybe a brief explanation of how they we're going to improve... replace the equipment or... whatever. I will take their response as, “I don’t care” and I’m good with that response. I will take my business elsewhere. There is an old restaurant industry saying. It’s not about getting customers to dine at our restaurants. It’s about getting them to come back again and again. That’s playing the long-game. Today is today so give 110% but there will always be a tomorrow to do better and be better. Play the long-game. Do better. Be better. Be great. Play the long-game.
