You asked, I answered:  In my new weekly video blog series, I have answered the questions you have asked me on Facebook. In this week’s post, I answer  Hakan Alfon’s question: What tips can I send to Sweden when it comes to increasing the flow of private capital in early stages.  Comment on this video to share your thoughts, further questions and any other feedback you have.

In everything we do, trust is crucial – in our business and personal relationships surely, but what about with ourselves? No matter what your objective is, you need to trust the situation will work out for the best. To do this, you have to be confident that you have control, which is only leveraged through trust. A hunter never releases his finger on the trigger until he trusts enough in the situation that he’s calm and silently moving, so as not to disturb the setting. Predators do the same as they carefully stalk their prey. How trusting are you in the board room? How about in your living room? What about with a new restaurant?

If you want to be the hunter and not the hunted, allow yourself to be trusting in your situation. When your colleague says he’ll take care of that project, give him your stamp of approval – and trust that he’ll do a great job. When your spouse says she needs a mini-vacation, send her for some R&R with her best friend – and trust that she’ll return ready to seize the challenges of daily life. When that first-day-on-the-job waiter nervously carries a whole stack of your plates away, tell him he’s crushing it – and trust that he won’t drop the stack on your dinner companions.

Without trust, your hunting instincts aren’t effective. What’s your goal? Do you trust yourself enough to achieve it? Start there – then make the most of it.

With three young boys between the ages of one and six my wife and I have our hands full. Through all of the madness I am constantly watching to see who will be my hardcore hunting son. Thus far it appears my middle son River who is just over 3 and is in the lead. I never have to ask River twice about hitting the woods with me.

No matter whether on a four wheeler, side by side UTV, golf cart, snowmobile or on foot River wants to be outdoors with his daddy! We shed hunt, we turkey scout, deer scout, and this weekend we morel hunted together.

In addition to the River and Daddy time, I had the pleasure of hanging and binging with the rest of my family. Everyone enjoyed the hunt and loved yelling “bing,bing,bing!”

It took me a day to dial in my yellow morel radar but in the end we picked over 10 pounds of mostly jumbo morels all found near elm and ash trees. It’s such a rush to find the late season giants. To do it surrounded by family on Memorial Day weekend made it that much sweeter.

This is the end of the 2013 morel season for me as I’m getting slammed in the office the next little stretch. I hunted in 3 states and claimed over 1,000 morels which equates to an excellent binging season!

Until next time, getcha bing on…
