"Leadership (aka. >>Fire >> Passion >>Skip) is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead."

Good Morning Folks,


What a week it's been! The FSO House was rocking all day, every day with >>Fire >> Passion >>Skip, and this excitement and buzz will go a long way in the market!! Our talent levels are literally increasing overnight.


We saw well over 200 candidates during our job fair and open house. The excitement and buzz in the office again was felt by the candidates and the majority of them commented about what a GREAT vibe they felt from the second they walked off the elevator. Ahhhh, hospitality – that is what we are all about!!

A big shout out to EVERYONE who made the 2 days so special. A real true team event…coming in early and staying late. You are all awesome and I truly appreciate your support!!

I also want to thank those customers, employees and Mitch Weiner social media followers that have supported my "casting" calls for referrals of Sales and HR talent. 

Mostly because people like yourselves talked about, spread the word about and delivered top-shelf candidates that will help FSO *light up a nation* with talent levels unlike anywhere else on the planet. Together with our existing team, we are truly The Happiest Place to Work on Earth.

We are also a family— a tribe. A tribe is any group of people, large or small, who are connected to one another, a leader, and an idea. 

That in mind, to send you off to your weekends on a high note, here's a favorite excerpt from Seth Godin's book "Tribes" (one of the bestselling leadership book on Amazon)

Leadership (aka. >>Fire >> Passion >>Skip) is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.

The scarcity makes leadership valuable. If everyone tries to lead all the time, not much happens. It’s discomfort that creates the leverage that makes leadership worthwhile.

In other words, if everyone could do it, they would, and it wouldn’t be worth much.

==> It’s uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers.
==> It’s uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail.
==> It’s uncomfortable to challenge the status quo.
==> It’s uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle.

When you identify the discomfort, you’ve found the place where a leader is needed.

If you’re not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it’s almost certain you’re not reaching your potential as a leader.

Thanks again to everyone who put the word out and brought in referrals. Don’t be shy and keep those referrals coming. Positions are still open. The more the merrier!

From our wonderful FSO Family have a GREAT weekend, be happy and… Love Life!
