Hare Truck Center - November December 2019
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2019
The Hare Truck Center Is #CourtneyStrong TRUCK Tribune
In late September, another member of Hare Auto passed away, Courtney Cole. You may have already heard the news. Courtney passed away after a six-year battle with lung cancer. Courtney and her sister Monica opened up the doors of the Hare Truck Center to so much potential. They secured our Isuzu franchise and did so much to make the Truck Center what it is today. We are all very proud of the work both Courtney and Monica have done for us and the community. We are relieved that Courtney is no longer in pain, but we continue to mourn the loss of this amazing person, and we mourn for Courtney’s family as they navigate this loss too. Despite this, all of us at the Truck Center continue to push the company and dedicate ourselves to this seventh generation, family-owned business. We want to make Courtney and her family proud — and we will forever be #CourtneyStrong. #CourtneyStrong is a hashtag and an idea that’s grown in popularity around here. We’re even wearing bracelets with the hashtag. We do it because we believe in everything Courtney stood for and everything she fought for. And knowing Courtney and the way she did things, we know she wouldn’t want us to sit around and become stagnant. We have to push forward and smash our goals, and we’ve dedicated the rest of the year to doing just that.
have such an amazing staff, and every single person is dedicated to smashing goals and taking the dealership to the next level. Now, if you’ve been following the automotive news, you know it’s been a challenging fall season. We’ve had to work around the GM strike, which means our inventory was dwindling — but we still have trucks on the lot ready to go for end-of-year tax savings. Be sure to check out Truck of the Month on Page 2 for a special year-end offer — and check out Page 3 for details on Section 179 tax credits. Now is certainly the time to strike if your business wants to take advantage of these tax credits! As Thanksgiving and the holiday season draws near, there are many people in need who need a little extra help to make sure their families have food on the table. Between now and the end of
the year, you’ll find food donations boxes set up around the Truck Center. If you would like to drop off any canned or nonperishable foods or any essential home items, such as toiletries, you are more than welcome! All the goods we collect this season will be sent to Good Samaritan. They’ll ensure those in need in our community have food on their tables this holiday season. We appreciate your donation! And from all of us on the Hare Truck Center team, we hope you have a great Thanksgiving and holiday season! Thank you for a great 2019 — we appreciate your partnership, but more importantly, we appreciate your friendship! May God continue to bless us all! -Todd Thurston Sales Manager
Of course, that’s what we do every day. The Hare Truck Center has had a great year because we

Execute Strategy and Kill Stagnancy
3 TIPS FOR EVERY BUSINESS LEADER
“To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed ... Execution is worth millions.” –Steve Jobs Anyone can take this advice to heart, whether you’re a stay-at-home parent or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Ideas are easy, but no one becomes successful because they had a great idea. Success comes from putting that idea into action. Being able to execute a plan is a skill every business leader needs. Here are three steps to help you improve your execution.
define your strategy as you go. There’s a reason audiences won’t be flocking to theaters to watch the latest galactic adventures of Luke Starkiller this December.
2. Be Methodical While you shouldn’t wait for the perfect plan, you shouldn’t be flying in blind, either. You can be too energetic about execution. Make sure everyone involved in a plan knows their responsibilities. Confusion will torpedo any strategy faster than you can say,“Who was in charge of this?”The Harvard Business Review states,“Having the discipline to organize people, assemble resources, and then generate a plan that others can commit to will collectively improve execution.”
1. Ditch Perfection Have you ever watched a behind-the-scenes
3. Evaluate, Evaluate, Evaluate We’re not saying you should micromanage your team, but you do need to be checking in on a regular basis to evaluate progress on your plan. Schedule monthly or quarterly meetings to go over the strategy. This is where you look for any changes that need to be made and refine the strategy. A smart strategy feels reassuring, but learning to execute a plan is the only way to make progress. The best business plan in the world is worthless if you never follow through.
featurette of your favorite movie? Some of the most successful films were all but unrecognizable in their early phases. In fact, a lot of early concepts are terrible. Look up the original designs for Woody in“Toy Story” to see for yourself. Fortunately, rather than wait for the perfect script, creators executed their visions and make changes as needed. Putting off action in favor of creating the perfect plan or strategy leads to stagnant business. Successful people know that plans take many shapes before they reach their final form. Don’t jump into something without a clear plan, but don’t be afraid to

CELEBRATING GIVING TUESDAY Supporting the People You Believe In
November is usually all about Thanksgiving, but it isn’t the only holiday that encourages generosity. Giving Tuesday is a phenomenal celebration in which millions of people from across the globe are inspired to spend 24 hours giving back to the communities they love. Origin and Goal Giving Tuesday is celebrated every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, and this year, the holiday lands on Dec. 3! It was established in 2012 by the United Nations Foundation and New York’s 92nd Street Y as a response to consumer-driven holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The purpose of the holiday was to spread the spirit of giving, not only for the people in our nation but individuals across the world. The goal is “to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts well beyond that day and touches every person on the planet.” Technology at Its Best Through the use of social media and technology, the organization hopes to encourage and spread generosity
on a global scale using the hashtag #GivingTuesday. The website states that“... technology and social media could be used to make generosity go viral; that people fundamentally want to give and talk about giving.” Through massive social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the individuals and companies participating in Giving Tuesday can spread their missions and messages all over the world, encouraging others to do the same. How You Can Celebrate Now is the perfect opportunity to support your community and the causes you believe in. The best part of this holiday is that “giving”doesn’t just refer to donating money. People can give back by volunteering their time to help a nonprofit business, donating goods and food, or just buying a stranger some lunch. Even the smallest actions can have the biggest impact. If you’re interested in participating in Giving Tuesday, get together with your friends, family, sports team members, or neighbors to brainstorm on how you can give back. To learn more about how you can participate, visit GivingTuesday.org .
