Ted's Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day... Work with Awesome People. Had a bit of a leadership retreat today to cover two of our "6 Principle P's" - People and Planning. Justine and I talked about how blessed we are to work with such an amazing group. Do you have a tip for me?

I got a simple request from an old friend's daughter. She needed some extra snacks for her students. I bought a few things and then received the greatest thank you from a bunch of young kids....Yep, made my day. Thank you Miss Keller for being awesome.

I am thankful for all the businesses that have trusted my office and my team that cares for them. This one is pretty cool in that I think my office is only one of two offices to ever recieve this award in Salem. Those who know me understand that I'm not much of a trophy person... but I am honored by this one being a small business owner myself.

Ted’s Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day… Don’t let your life be defined as a complicit one. It may shape your legacy as an individual or a nation for decades. Do you have a tip for me?

THANK YOU!!! Reach out to us however you want to... Call, Email or Text.... we are here to serve our community. We appreciate all the 5 Star Love our community has given us!

TEN YEARS AGO.... Justine and I wanted to do a leadership scholarship for South Salem HS as a way to honor an amazing teacher, Kathy August. Working with Kathy, we put together the Saxon Servant Leadership Scholarship. The goal was to honor two students that were "SERVING TO THE POINT WHERE OTHERS CAN'T HELP BUT FOLLOW." This year's amazing winners were Sadie Patterson and Gibson Hanowell. Thank you Kathy for being such a great and loving example for our community of what real servant leadership looks like... It was nice to have her give some love to former Saxon and student... Heath... she asked if he has grown 😉

Thankful, thankful Friday... what are you thankful for today? It's Thursday and I'm going to give your taste buds something to be thankful for tomorrow.

Thank Mike, Katrina and the whole Adams family,,, great to see a lot of other small businesses there too. On the way out we saw Eleazar and Cynthia from Bison! Just a lot of great people and awesome place. What will you be thankful for on Friday?

Happy 4th of July from our Salem office!

Ted's Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day... Get a Jake Pop! My son-in-law told a few years ago that Funko Pops could be an investment..he reminds me of my dad.... Hmmmm... did I just wreck this one by taking it out of the box? Do you have a tip for me?

Senior Night and Devyn! It's been fun watching this young man grow up... I am proud of how he represents himself on and off the field.

If you own or operate a small business, consider joining your local Chamber of Commerce. As a proud member of the Albany and Keizer Chambers and a board member of the Salem Chamber, I’ve seen firsthand the value these organizations bring. They work tirelessly to support and safeguard local businesses, helping them thrive. Remember, whenever possible, choose to buy local and strengthen our community!

Ted's Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day... Know people and have friends! Super important to have friends and customers like Brother Nature and Kyle Schmidt. When our sidewalk started developing a couple of trip hazards, I asked Kyle, "Yo, do you know someone that can handle this size of job?" "It's too small for big concrete companies and too big for a weekend warrior." He said, "No worries, my brother and I can handle that" Looks Amazing and they helped us stay open the whole time. Do you have a tip for me?

The always Nationally Ranked Corban University Women's Volleyball team never had a stand alone PINK OUT event. As many know... Breast Cancer Awareness is something I have worked on for decades in our community.

The Salem Chamber is growing. The need for community, support and encouragement to grow a small business is needed now more than ever. Jackie can sign you up and get you into the right circles to grow.

Ted's Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day.... The sun is always setting on something... that's ok... the world keeps spinning.

Thankful, thankful Friday... what are you thankful for today? TWO bits Bad Advice I heard 15 years ago and ONE I got 3 years ago. #1 "Don't ever be in a small business Ted, you are to caring and the community will never support you. You can't make it trying to do the right thing for people." #2 "Don't ever work with family, it will tear your kids apart from you." #3 "Don't encourage your family to do insurance." If we didn't hear bad advice sometimes, the good advice wouldn't be so clear. I've been so blessed. The more we give back to the Valley, the more people want to see if my office is a good fit. I have had the honor of having all my kids, my wife and so many friends on the payroll. Truly makes it more fun. My son is doing great as an agent and I still have family and friends on the payroll. We aren't a perfect office, but I don't know a team that works harder at trying to serve others.

Ted's Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day... Despite rates and home cost being up... if you come upon the right deal... it is a good place to be a 1st Time Home Buyer! Proud of you Seth and Josie!!!

Thankful for my granddaughter and shave ice!

Ted's Terrific Tuesday Tip of the Day... Celebrate and enjoy a great meal with friends. Miller's BBQ made us some fantastic breakfast for our team meeting. Our team enjoyed the meal and fellowship. Do you have a tip for me?

I'm not sure when it happened, but you got older.... Happy Bday Haley-Bug, DaFinna, DaBurper, Hay. I'm thankful for you.
