Last weekend was my second time “Everesting” with - and my first time enjoying it 😜 This challenge isn’t necessarily about getting the red hat for climbing 29k of elevation gain in < 36 hours. It’s about who you need to become in the process of training for it.

The discipline, the schedule, the routine, the early morning hours before the family wakes up and the workday begins. The nutrition, the education, the strategy.

Events like this push your limits, but if you train right, your limits are higher than you could ever imagine.

So this time I had fun. I trained, I executed, I enjoyed. Might even do it again 🙌

When I came up with Trainual (training+manual) I was combining all sorts of words to see what worked. I also grabbed Sprocesses (systems+processes).

Years later, my brother (and Trainual’s co-founder) had an idea... that sort of sounds like a Dr. Seuss word. Let’s make a children’s book!!! 💡

Why don’t we learn earlier about creating systems? Kids are taught repeatedly how to memorize facts and do work... they should be taught to delegate. They should be taught to develop strategies for being more efficient. For leveraging the help of others. That’s how businesses work.

This book, Sprocesses, breaches that topic, in the fun story of a little Hamster named Teri 🐹 (fun fact, Teri is also the name of our late grandmother on my mom’s side 💜).

Spoiler alert, but the hamster wheel opens to a ladder and Teri breaks through that glass ceiling.

So, if you believe in systems & processes, go search “Sprocesses” on Amazon and buy a copy (or five 😁). Drop them off at your local elementary schools. Read them to your kids. Gift them to nieces and nephews.

The world could use more Sprocesses. Congrats Jonathan for bringing this to life, it’s SO well done!!!
