It's the end of November and many people are celebrating Thanksgiving. For me November is a milestone because I started my company Lean Tech November 2013.

Statistics show that 70% of new businesses in Norway do not survive the first 5 years. I am both proud and grateful that my company has survived so far.

A large cosmetics company received a complaint from a customer. She had bought one of their most popular soaps, but when she opened the box, she discovered it was empty.

The management took the complaint seriously, and identified the problem fast.

I came across this story that gave me a reminder that I have the option to decide how I see things:

Magne is always in a good mood. He is positive and a natural motivator. If a colleague have a bad day, Magne helps them to see the positive in the situation.

This autumn I participated with my partner Trond, at an adventure race: Challenge 40.

The concept is to earn the most points during the 4 hours race, by finding spots marked on the map.

Today it's Halloween, and you might have to choose between trick OR treat.

Or maybe you could have BOTH ;-)
