My name is Jim Love.
I've been in IT and business for over 30 years. I worked my way up, literally from the mail room and I've done every job from mail clerk to CEO.
Today I'm a CIO and I sit on the boards of a couple of companies.
But this isn't about my work - this is my personal blog.
My personal twitter account describes me with a line from the Steve Miller song -- "I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner."
There are two more. I'm a writer and a dreamer.
So here I write. I muse about professional thoughts. I share intensely personal moments and insights. I live out loud.
I marvel a the extraordinary. Every accomplishment, every great thing we do in our lives starts with a dream. The difference is that some people are content to dream them. Some have to live them. Some are driven to pursue the extraordinary. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you change the game.

For a song…

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. I can’t believe where the time has gone. There are have been some challenges recently. I’ve moved my home – I still run the company in Toronto, but we bought a beautiful house in Haliburton county – near Minden, Ontario. I’m looking out at the loons on the lake as I write this. Stunning view!
On a sadder note, my business partner and I split up in the past month. Disagreements about how the business was to be run. We had some conflicts, but I think the move to my new house really set things off. We had one of our management meetings in a local cafe where we usually meet (no reason to not have pleasant surroundings for meetings). It was at that meeting he said to me that he didn’t think I was committed to the business. Continue reading →
