Why Your Health Is the Key to Your Success in Business
Be honest: Are you working at your absolute peak? Just look at The Rock. Sure he’s charismatic and a strong actor, but how does he fly across the world to record back-to-back films with barely a moment to rest? It’s because he’s in incredible shape. The Rock gets the most out of his acting chops because he obsesses over his health.
That same idea applies to you as an entrepreneur. Treat your body well — eat right, challenge your body, get proper sleep — and you’ll reward yourself with more energy, greater focus, and a heightened level of discipline. You’ll achieve new levels of productivity while your competition falls behind and watches you scale faster and faster.

All three markets, Green Douglas fir, OSB and Western plywood, have been flat to soft over the last few weeks.
With Mill shut downs for maintenance, holidays and weather look for this trend to continue into December. Watch for some shortages of items due to mill shut downs.
