Settling for good enough quietly caps our potential. Greatness demands discomfort, focus, and standards that refuse compromise. When we raise the bar, energy follows. Challenges become invitations, not obstacles. The shift from good to great begins with a clear purpose and the daily decision to honor it.

Define what great looks like for your team. Choose the few outcomes that matter most and commit resources accordingly. Create a stop doing list to free time for high-impact work. Measure what matters, review progress weekly, and course correct quickly. Momentum rewards clarity and consistency.

Lead with disciplined habits: prepare before meetings, finish small tasks, and deliver ahead of promises. Celebrate learning, not just wins. Invite candid feedback and respond with action. As excellence compounds, trust grows, and results transform. Greatness is not an event; it is the proof of daily choices.

In ninety days, define greatness, cut distractions, take daily focused actions, measure weekly progress, and celebrate learning to sustain excellence.

Embarc Collective champions founders by pairing ambition with practical guidance. Here, coaching comes first, sharpening focus, aligning resources, and building momentum. Vision becomes weekly commitments that compound into meaningful outcomes.

Instead of generic advice, you receive targeted support from operators who have been in the arena. Accountability is normal, experimentation is expected, and decisions follow evidence. Your narrative clarifies, your metrics tighten, and your team moves in sync.

Most of all, you join a community that treats progress as a habit. Show up, do the work, share the learning, repeat. With clarity, tools, and peers who raise your standards, you create a company prepared to endure.

Coaching-centered community accelerates founders, turning ambition into measurable progress through accountability, shared learning, and resilient execution every day together.

This week in Virginia, tunneling finished on the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion as the TBM “Mary” broke through the second bore. The nearly 4 billion dollar project doubles capacity across the harbor and now shifts from mining to outfitting both tunnels for traffic, safety, and ventilation systems ahead of a 2027 opening.

Tunnel borers excavate while erecting precast lining rings that create a watertight tube deep below the channel. After the breakthrough, crews install a concrete roadway, jet fans, fireproofing, drainage, lighting, cameras, and emergency egress passages. System testing follows to ensure smoke control, power redundancy, and life safety integration with surface interchanges.

Finishing work proceeds alongside widening on I-64 approaches, staged to keep lanes open and protect ship navigation. When complete, the crossing will cut bottlenecks, add reliability for port and military logistics, and improve hurricane evacuation times for the region’s commuters and freight.

Monitor shifts and tunnel outfitting milestones to plan trips, support work zone safety, and anticipate reliability gains when bores open.

Government data released September 24 show August new home sales at an annual pace of 800,000, up 20.5 percent from July and 15.4 percent above a year earlier. The median price was $413,500, homes for sale totaled 490,000, and the months supply eased to 7.4.

Starts to respond to demand signals. Months supply near seven suggests balanced conditions, where builders can pace new communities, spec inventory, and incentives. But Census notes wide sampling error and says it takes three months to establish a trend, with preliminary estimates often revised.

For project planning this week, treat the faster sales pace and slightly leaner inventory as tentative. Track revisions due October 24 and pair sales data with permits, local listings, and lender feedback before committing budgets and vertical schedules.

Compare sales, inventory, and months supply monthly, average three months, and align starts, pricing, and incentives with local absorption trends.

Introduction

Good morning, Team! Today we’re covering safe movement of forklifts, skid steers, loaders, and trucks, and how spotters guide them.

Why It Matters

Struck by and caught between incidents cause severe injuries. Blind spots, reversing, and mixed foot and vehicle traffic increase risk.

Strategies for Safe Movement

Discussion Questions

Conclusion

Clear routes, functional equipment, and disciplined communication prevent strikes and crush injuries.
